Isn't instagram twitter-like already? So it seems they want to capitalize on the Mastodon crowd and make a centralized version that works well.

At least they should revert back to 140-200 character limit. Twitters extended tweets is a mistake and are degrading it

Yes and no. IG requires that you post an image/video. This is their Twitter clone.

To me it's an obvious move. Try to move in when Twitter is in an odd transitional period. Not saying I have any interest in using it, but from a strategy standpoint it makes complete sense.

Couldn't they just remove the requirement to post an image/video?
