Here's a short comparison. Threads - real-time text & public dialogue, FB - Social networking, family/friends Threads - linked to Instagram, FB - independent account Threads - text-heavy, short-form content, FB - Mixed (Multimedia, Text, Long-form) content Threads - Public/Open, FB - Friends/Family/Groups Threads - minimal ads, FB - highly developed (effing annoying) advertising -- Colin Fee [email protected]
