Threads is developing into the anti-Twitter platform. New features are added every week and the platform is becoming more accessible.
Why Threads are more important than you think.
Meta’s Threads now has a web version, so you don’t need to install the app on your phone. This is a big deal for accessibility and privacy, and for anyone who can’t or doesn’t want to use an app. Combined with the promises to make Threads interoperable with other open micropublishing platforms, it seems like a new direction for Meta.
"A web version of popular social networks is crucial for several reasons. First, a web version allows users to access the platform from any device with an internet connection, including desktops, laptops, and tablets," editor and technology researcher Jason Wise told Lifewire via email. "Furthermore, web versions often provide a more inclusive experience for users with disabilities or specific accessibility needs. They can use assistive technologies such as screen readers or keyboard navigation to access the platform's features and content. By providing web versions, social networks can foster a more diverse and inclusive user community."
Previously, Threads on the web was essentially a way to view someone’s profile. You could see posts, but you couldn’t comment on them or favorite them. Now, it’s largely the same as the app version, with a few exceptions. For example, you can’t edit your profile.
