Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Many Twitter employees have flocked to rival app Threads in the aftermath of its record-breaking launch, a new report claims. <\/b><\/p>\n

This is despite heightened tensions between Twitter\u2019s Elon Musk and his Meta rival Mark Zuckerberg.<\/p>\n

One Twitter staffer even admitted Threads was \u2018just better\u2019, according to The Daily Beast, adding: \u2018I\u2019m going to get fired for this, but I work at Twitter right now and have never really used it. Here\u2019s to a new world!\u2019<\/p>\n

Another user complimented the ease of Threads\u2019 registration process, posting: \u2018[Not gonna lie] the signup flow was really nice.\u2019<\/p>\n

But these employees are not the only ones, as the publication claims that nearly a quarter of a sample of 133 staffers have signed up to the \u2018Twitter-killer app\u2019.<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s workforce currently includes roughly 1,700 people, meaning it is possible that hundreds may have joined.<\/p>\n

MailOnline also found that other former and current Twitter employees have used Threads to voice grievances against it or promote Musk\u2019s platform.<\/p>\n

Bruce Daisley, who previously worked as the Vice President of Twitter in Europe, the Middle East and Africa branded Threads \u2018a mess of the hottest sort\u2019.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u2018I hope someone at Threads Towers has a busy day ahead doing computer stuff because this is a mess of the hottest sort right now.\u2019<\/p>\n

In a separate post he added: \u2018Welcome to Threads. I already hate it.\u2019<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Twitter software engineer Tom Blacknell wrote: \u2018Everyone should check out Twitter.\u2019<\/p>\n

Dionne Grant, a partner manager at the firm also jokingly posted: \u2018Research purposes and that,\u2019 to which one user replied a winking GIF.<\/p>\n

News of this comes just days after Twitter threatened to file a lawsuit against Meta over its new \u2018copycat\u2019 Threads platform.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Threads has confirmed that a major update will soon be available, less than a week after its record-breaking launch.<\/p>\n
