Threads is a proprietary microblogging software project by Meta (the company behind Facebook, Instagram and more) that is technically connected to the Fediverse.
While the media praises this as a 'saner version of Twitter', that will eventually replace it, in the Fediverse it is generally considered a bad thing.
There is even a pact for Fediverse admins and mods to block Threads and all it's instances. See fedipact.online.

You can post text, pictures and videos.
How does Threads compare to Twitter, Mastodon and other microblogging services?
