Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?

Even allowing people to follow that account?

Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.

    This happened to me. Joined threads and what do I see? Signal and instantly had a bunch of random accounts follow me.

    I think I’m sticking to Mastodon and Pixelfed.
