Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?
Even allowing people to follow that account?
Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.

Been seeing that a lot around here. Pics or it didn’t happen.
People are all too eager to believe stuff if it feeds into their preconceived ideas about these companies.
it’s true that they have shadow accounts for Instagram accounts cause threads is currently operating under Instagram, I don’t know if that’s factored into their 30 million user count tho
When you follow one of the shadow accounts it says something like “they’ll respond when they join threads” or something
It’s true. As people who I follow on Instagram have started to sign up for Threads it has notified me that we’re following each other. There’s an option when you sign up to allow it to do that. And if you set up a private account, then you still have to approve people who follow you. But this way, you don’t have to worry about remembering to check if someone has signed up yet after you sign up.
