One of Meta’s top executives showed employees a preview of the company’s upcoming Twitter competitor during a companywide meeting today that was watched by The Verge.

The new standalone app will be based on Instagram and integrate with ActivityPub, the decentralized social media protocol. That will theoretically allow users of the new app to take their accounts and followers with them to other apps that support ActivityPub, including Mastodon.

He said “coding began” for the app in January and that Meta will be making the app available “as soon as we can.”

When this 'theoretical' portation of accounts and followers will be implemented, the balance of power shifts from the platform to the users

The new standalone app will be based on Instagram and integrate with ActivityPub, the decentralized social media protocol. That will theoretically allow users of the new app to take their accounts and followers with them to other apps that support ActivityPub, including Mastodon.

Twitter's market cap already dropped from 44 to 41 billion, expect this to lower further because the new Meta platform might offer favorable rates to advertisers.
