[BirSaNN]

Meta recently announced Threads that took the world by storm. The platform has managed to secure more than a hundred million downloads in a very short period. If you are one of them, you might already be familiar with the app. We are very familiar with the mechanics of Threads because we have been using Twitter for a while now. Both platforms have a lot of similarities, and it is a nuisance at his stage to choose one over the other. After the dust is settled, we will give you a few reasons why you should stick to Twitter instead of jumping over to Meta's Threads microblogging platform.

Twitter offers a familiar user experience with major features that are not available on Threads at the moment
Twitter has been in hot waters for a while and currently, Elon Musk is not doing any favors but experimenting with various features. Nonetheless, it is still one of the best microblogging platforms on the internet. Mark Zuckerberg copied various aspects of Twitter and incorporated them into the new Threads app. This is not the first time that we are seeing Meta blatantly ripping off some of the features and excelling at them.

For instance, the Stories feature on Instagram was abstracted from Snapchat, and it has become one of the main aspects of the app. Similarly, Threads has adopted a few features from Twitter, which is why you should stick to the latter. Below are some reasons why you should keep using Twitter instead of Threads.

Reasons Why You Should Keep Using Twitter Instead of Threads App
Lacks Key Features

When Threads was first released, Instagram users were quick to jump on the bandwagon. However, over several days, the excitement has run down by a lot, at least for me. Yes, the platform has a lot to offer, and the fact that your Instagram followers are directly ported to Threads is quite handy. However, the app is still in its early phase, and it remains to be seen how it will perform in the long run. For instance, there is no Discover tab yet that allows you to explore new accounts that pique your interest.

You only have the option to search for accounts that are quite cumbersome. Take note that your feed is open to accounts that you have not followed, which means that you will be seeing content from everyone that falls into your algorithm. It would be great if the platform introduced a feed directing content from only your followers.

Account Deletion 

Meta does give you the option to delete your Threads account, but it is tied to your Instagram account. What this means is that if you did not find Threads well and are looking to delete your account, your Instagram account will be deleted as well. It feels like Meta is holding your Instagram account for ransom to keep using Threads. The company did say that it will roll out an update that will disassociate Threads from Instagram.

In contrast, you can delete your Twitter account with your information quite easily. This is one reason why you do not have to make a hard choice when it comes to deleting your account. Henceforth, you should stick to Twitter instead of jumping over to Threads just yet.
