"Threads Deutschland" is Instagram's official answer to Twitter. It has been talked about for a long time. Instagram has made a text-based social network called "Barcelona" to fight with Twitter and other text-based social networks like BlueSky, Mastodon, and Post.news.
Now that the Instagram Threads app is out, you can't get it from either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store in Europe or Germany because the Digital Services Act (DSA) isn't clear about how it affects the law. Or is it? Here's how to get the Threads app without a virtual private network (VPN) or other difficult tech tricks...
About
Threads Deutschland is what Meta does instead of Twitter. Here, you can use your Instagram account and keep your username to join the community, join all kinds of talks, make your own posts, and give your opinion on any topic. You can write words, add emojis, and add pictures or videos to posts.
You can make your profile secret if you want to protect your privacy. You can also choose who can respond on your posts. You can choose "Anyone," "People you follow," or "People you've mentioned."
Like on Twitter, you can follow interesting people to see their posts in your feed and talk to them. You can follow a person's Threads account if you already follow their Instagram account. By signing into Threads with your Instagram account, you can see a list of people you already follow who have joined Threads, and you can choose whether or not to follow them.
Threads Deutschland is similar to Twitter in that you can "like" and "retweet" content and comment directly to it or share a link through private conversations. You can also make groups and post all of your messages at once.
Threads uses ActivityPub, which is an open-source system that lets social media be used in a distributed and decentralised way. Mastodon and other social networks use this technology.
It gives users more control over their information and privacy, and it lets different sites that use it connect with each other so that they can reach even more people.
Conclusion
Threads Deutschland from Instagram will make you happy if you use Instagram a lot and store a lot of material there. The app is easy to use, and it's simple to share material with close friends. It is very helpful to be able to tell people quickly what your present situation is.
