    I pray to god this app does not take off or else the zucc will be controlling like 80-90% of all social media with Instagram Facebook Whatsapp and this new shit. There has to be some sort of anti monopolistic lawsuit that comes at them. This simply should not happen

      It’s tied to Instagram, and lots of people exchange instagram as a form of contact (which is weird already), so it’s already got huge potential once people find out about it. It’s very possible it supplants Twitter with how that’s going.

        Yep. If this lets users:

        • use their existing account
        • follow people they already follow
        • do everything Twitter did for free…

        This thing is gonna take off.

        Meh, for ‘normies’, if you want to put it that way, maybe. But a lot of people that used twitter before used it exactly because it allowed you to use an ‘online only’ persona. A nickname, nothing else.

      A lawsuit for what exactly? You can’t sue a company just for making a new product unless they somehow abuse their position to promote their product at the expense of other similar products.
