Threads Adds Active Status Indicators to Prompt More Engagement
Briefly

Threads is looking to enhance the real-time engagement element of the app, by adding active indicators that will signify when a user is online. This feature aims to facilitate real-time discussions on the platform, creating a more dynamic engaging environment. By introducing these indicators, Threads hopes to create a user experience that's closer to what Twitter once offered, underlining a commitment to interactive and immediate social connectivity.
Despite these enhancements towards active engagement, Threads maintains a cautious approach regarding political content. The platform’s aversion to political discussions is rooted in Meta’s overall strategy to distance itself from contentious news topics. This reflects user feedback that has increasingly expressed a desire for less divisive content and a more positive engagement space, particularly in the context of political discourse that can often lead to conflict.
