As you may have heard, there is a new kid on the social media block: Threads, from Instagram. It launched on 6 July, and there are already over 25m accounts (apparently, I am # 25,739,543).

Do I recommend joining? Yes. As I've seen many authors say, we need to join and claim our handle on Threads so no one else does.

Threads is specifically set up as a competitor to Twitter. You can download the app from your favourite app store, log in using your Instagram login, and connect your Instagram followers. Note that I've also read you can't delete Threads without deleting Instagram.
