Am I in the wrong to be pissed at EU that they won't let me use Bard and now Threads? I get that whole regulations horseshit[0], but damn - is every interesting product launch in the future is going to be locked behind a 6-month entry wall or something? It's honestly demoralizing as someone who spends a lot of time on the web and also writes about various tech topics.<p>[0]: <a href="https://www.independent.ie/business/technology/no-instagram-threads-app-in-the-eu-irish-dpc-says-metas-new-twitter-rival-wont-be-launched-here/a1927220337.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.independent.ie/business/technology/no-instagram-...</a>
I do wonder why threads wasn't just included in the Instagram app.<p>Part of the reason why Instagram reels have become so popular is probably because it's right there in the middle of the Instagram app.<p>I could see if it's to avoid bloating 1 app but from the messaging it seems that your threads identity is going to be closely linked to your Instagram account anyway?<p>I feel less motivated to install a new app, create a new profile, decorate it and start following people (once again).
I see the page title in the firefox tab: "@zuck Let's do thisl Welcome to"<p>and then there's a rainbow colored logo with an @ symbol in the middle of the page. That's it.<p>Firefox, ublock origin, private browsing window, europe.
Well, I can see the thread in my browser. Since that was all I ever did with Twitter it is as of today 100% better (though I suppose strictly speaking 1 is infinitely bigger than zero).
