⚠️ Heads up: this article is from our "experimental era" — a beautiful mess of enthusiasm ✨, caffeine ☕, and user-submitted chaos 🤹. We kept it because it’s part of our journey 🛤️ (and hey, everyone has awkward teenage years 😅).
Mark Zuckerberg introduces a horizontal swiping feature on Threads, aiming to challenge Elon Musk's X. The feature lets users engage with posts in a different way, reflecting Musk's previous desire. While this move suggests a battle between the two tech giants, it also illustrates Zuckerberg's attempt to provide users more control over their feed. Threads' potential to disrupt X is apparent, despite its restrictions on news and politics, ultimately heightening the competition in the social media landscape.
