Threads tries out editing, account switching, and profile deletion

Meta's answer to X (or Twitter, depending on your preference) is working on post editing. The example below, pulled from Threads' back-end code by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi shows the feature, and would let users edit their posts within 5 minutes.

For comparison's sake, X/Twitter initially refused to add the tweet-edit feature for years, only to roll out October last year to paying subscribers..

Also, Threads now allows profile switching which means you don't have to log out of Threads and Instagram, and log back in again using a different account. This is the same feature as on Instagram, and is particularly useful for those managing different brand accounts.

Lastly, Instagram's finally looking for a workaround to delete your Threads profile from the Threads app itself. As we all know this has been Threads' key concerns during the early stages of the app.

That new section explains how to delete your Threads account, which then will remove your Threads data from your IG profile after 30 days.

Chime in.

    Committin' your thoughts to a publicly accessible space administered by private concerns always comes with a downside.

    Yurps, you get EXPOSURE -- but your input is inevitably their output.

    Plus also, most social mediah is sold as a lived experience.

    Gaht a sweaty tushy crack?

    Now you can update yr followahs in a flash!

    But I get how typos an' misphrasin' could be an ishoo for sum people.

    (For example, you might wanna go back an' replace sweaty tushy crack with real sweaty tushy crack if'n you were deployin' social mediah to sell soap or luxry body gel products.)

    Question is: who owns the content?

    We all revise an' refresh ourselves from day to day, an' we emerge from this inevitable evolooshn as bettah people.

    What you cain't do is deep edit yr past social mediah input beyond totally erasin' it, or the whole scheme would collapse in an instant.

    My view?

    Seems evrywan prior to the internets desprit for their 15 mins of fame, but now we all spewed up all ovah one anothah a zillion times ovah, the allure of 24/7 regurgitation has kinda diminished.
