Putin accused of surrounding himself with same 'actors' at series of eventsSome Twitter users have tweeted about their excitement to move over to Threads as soon as possible.
One person wrote: "Might have to switch to Threads cause Elon ruined Twitter."
Another said: "1 more day, then I can uninstall Twitter and switch to 'Threads'"
A user tweeted: "Tomorrow we can switch on Meta threads ….. I’m going over as Twitter has lost the plot…"
One Twitter user added: "Omg we finally have a Twitter alternative coming out Thursday!!! Threads.
"It also links to your IG friends!! So we need to switch and get off this hellscape."
There are some users who are skeptical about Threads.
One Twitter used wrote: "Pretty excited about threads actually.
"I don’t think a lot of users from Twitter will switch over, but having a second text base social app is nice.
"The audience will be drastically different compared to twitter, so it should be interesting to see how the platform plays out."
Edinburgh Hogmanay revellers stuck in queues for TWO HOURS in torrential rainAfter Elon Musk acquired Twitter in 2022, he made some controversial changes that not all users are happy with.
One of the most controversial amendments was making people pay for a blue verified checkmark on the app.
The move was designed to bring in more cash to the social media company.
But instead, it meant bots and bad actors could impersonate political figures and massive companies to spread false statements.
Musk also has a different approach to how the platform can be used compared to the previous people in charge.
Thousands of contractors who were monitoring the site for slurs and threats reportedly had their deals terminated after the takeover, The Washington Post reported.
However, Musk announced an end to the practice of doxxing, which is when details of a person’s work or home address is shared online as a form of punishment.
