On Thursday's Backchat, we discuss changes in the social media landscape -- ahead of the launch of conversation app Threads by Facebook's parent company Meta.
Available for pre-download starting Thursday, the app has been described as a "Twitter Killer" with a potential to take over Twitter's monopoly.
This comes at a time of increasing uncertainty over the direction Twitter is taking, as it witnesses major policy changes since its take over by Elon Musk.
What do you make of this? Is the end of Twitter approaching? Or can the two platforms coexist?
