But if you’re running Windows 11, there’s a quick path around that restriction using the Windows Subsystem for Android. Threads still falls behind because it’s mobile locked to Android and iOS devices, so I can’t really use it on anything other than my phone and tablet. The best way I can describe it is, it's like rerolling a new character class in a game after having already been through the endgame content. The way it works is similar to other platforms like Twitch or Mixer (for just two examples). Personally, my relationship with the blue bird has been in sharp decline over the last few months, so I decided to give Threads a try. fb.gg is the official app from Facebook Gaming, that lets you watch other players' live streams, or even stream your own videos. You can view individual posts in a browser, but you can’t post or read your whole feed.
The only trouble is that, right now, it’s mobile only. The platform has picked up 70 million sign-ups in the first couple of days, and it shows no sign of slowing down.
After all the press for Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk potentially taking it to each other in the octagon, the only analog we’re likely to see is Twitter versus Meta’s new darling– Threads.
