According to the article, Meta (formerly Facebook) is developing a decentralized social media platform called Threads, which is intended to compete with Bluesky, a decentralized Twitter alternative backed by Jack Dorsey. Threads is being built on the same decentralized infrastructure as Bluesky, known as the Authenticated Transfer Protocol (AT Protocol). The goal of Threads is to provide a decentralized alternative to traditional social media platforms, where users have more control over their data and content moderation. Meta plans to launch Threads in 2024, around the same time as Bluesky’s expected release. The article suggests that Threads will have a similar user experience to Twitter, with features like a feed of short updates and the ability to follow other users. However, it will be built on a decentralized protocol, which could potentially give users more privacy and control over their data.
