Meta’s Threads app has a major flaw: you can’t delete your Threads account without deleting your Instagram account.
Once in you cannot get out, or you lose your whole family and friends, like some religions.
I feel like this sounds worse than it is because you also don’t create a Threads account, per se, in the first place. You use your Instagram account. If you want to use Threads, you activate your Threads profile; if you want to stop using Threads, you deactivate your Threads profile. Your Instagram account is still your Instagram account and exists independent of Threads. If you want a totally separate account for Threads, you need to create a second Instagram account for it.
So basically the Niantic approach of tying platforms together with one account but not telling anybody.
Nah, it’s pretty clear when you open Threads and it says literally “Log in with Instagram”. It’s like logging into YouTube with your Google account and then being mad that deleting your “YouTube account” deletes your Google account. You can always disable your YouTube or Threads profile.
I guess I better delete my Instagram!
Don’t forget you can request your instagram zip archive and import all the posts (backdated too) into a pixelfed account :D
“Flaw”
