Jennifer López is among celebrities joining new social network Threads

Actress and singer Jennifer López joined the new social network Threads this Wednesday, created by Meta, the platform that includes Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

Hello threads! What should we thread about first?!” was the first thing the artist posted.

Just a few hours after launching the social network, Jennifer López has more than 88,000 followers.

“Threads” is a Twitter-like format that provides users with a Twitter-like microblogging experience. This is evident from screenshots provided to the media, suggesting that Meta Platforms was preparing to directly challenge the platform afterwards. that Musk’s turbulent ownership has resulted in a series of unpopular changes that have turned users and advertisers away.

There are buttons to like, repost, reply, or quote a “thread,” as well as counters that show the number of likes and replies a post has received.

“Our vision is that Threads will be a new app that’s more focused on text and dialogue and inspired by what Instagram has done for photos and videos,” the company said.

Posts are limited to 500 characters, which is more than Twitter’s 280 character limit, and can contain links, photos, and videos up to five minutes in length.

Instagram users can log in with their existing usernames and follow the same accounts in the new app. New users must set up an Instagram account.

Meta emphasized measures to protect users, including enforcing Instagram’s Community Guidelines and providing tools to control who can mention or reply to users.

Metro Puerto Rico and El Calce already have their accounts on the platform and like all their social networks, you can get all the updated news content from Puerto Rico and the world.
