Meta Is Cooking Up A Decentralized Twitter Lookalike With Instagram’s Soul – SlashGear
The report adds that an early version of P92 will allow features like interactive URLs in posts, displaying verification badges, usernames, and a short bio. Interestingly, this information will be pulled from Instagram, and users will also be made aware of this cross-app data-sharing system.
Talking about the communication aspect, users will be able to share videos and images, which again brings it closer to a regular social media platform like Instagram, but with a decentralized twist to it. Within the same server, activities like following an account or liking posts would be allowed, but there is mention of a comments section or direct messaging facility being built for P92.
“Eventually, the graph will split and, after initial sign up, the data sharing from Instagram to P92 will be minimal, if not none,” one of the spokespersons told MoneyControl. Notably, Meta wants to improve P92 by giving itself a free hand at using the Instagram data of all users — even those who haven’t signed up for the experimental decentralized app.
However, this won’t be the first time that Meta has tried to cash in on a trend, and then abandoned the product in its infancy. Plus, given the state of deep restructuring and the reported shift away from metaverse towards AI, it won’t be surprising to see the P92 project getting canned before a public release.
