Threads is on the verge of launching trending topics similar to its competitor X, formerly known as Twitter.
The new social media platform is trying to move with the time and becoming trendy, it doesn’t want be left behind.
However, unlike on X itself, Threads’ main Trends list does not appear to be accompanied by other trending lists by topic, like News, Sports and Entertainment, or a list of Trends that are personalised “For You.”
Adam Mosseri, the social media platform head said they’re careful with their features and not trying to be everything to everyone.
“We’re not anti-news, news is already on threads. We’re simply trying to avoid over-promising and under-delivering to an incredibly powerful group, which is a mistake we’ve made as a company many times in the past.”
Tech insiders accused Threads for not innovating and becoming a carbon copy of X.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg explained that he wanted Threads’ culture to be “a more positive, friendly place for discussion,” compared with X, which he said “indexes very strongly on just being quite negative and critical.”
