My partner just created her #Threads account and the account that showed up on top as suggestion to follow was mine. However, I don't have a Threads account.
Basically, anyone who has an Instagram account, #Meta is automatically creating a shadow account for them and also allowing users to follow those shadow accounts. My partner had tonnes of follow requests as soon as she made the account.
You made a claim, not I. “Prove a negative!” is a silly rebuttal.
Two distinct services were integrated? This sounds like a different situation then. Had Facebook originally created WhatsApp instead of a purchase, it is extremely likely it would function more like Threads/Messenger.
I use mastodon, I’m just not religious and try to avoid hysteria.
I’m sorry this has gotten you emotional.
