Alessandro Paluzzi, a developer who routinely digs into app code to expose unreleased features, tweeted early this morning that Meta’s Twitter clone, Thread, had been released into the Google Play store. It appears as though that was a mistake, however, because the app is nowhere to be found now.

I could see this actually catching on if twitter keeps going down this path of self-destruction. Mostly because people who wish for the more "official" and "corporate" style announcements all in one place will want an alternative that actually works and respects its users. Facebook has that too but... it's facebook. It has your real name and info. Your parents and grandparents are on there. And the UI and feel is very different. But a twitter clone by meta/big tech that connects with instagram (celebrities/politicians/companies/etc, are all already on there) would be a much smoother transition.
