"I already like Threads more than Twitter" - Pokimane shares her thoughts on Threads, calls it a "banger" social media platform

Twitch star Imane "Pokimane" has joined Twitter competitor, Threads, and shared her thoughts on the new social media platform. On July 6, 2023, the content creator expressed her excitement about joining the space. She was, however, "a bit scared" about how it might change over time. The former OfflineTV member said:

"NGL (not going to lie), it's exciting to be a part of something new, but I'm also a bit scared about how this app will over the next couple of weeks. Let's keep it fun and wholesome forever, yeah?"

The streamer also tagged Meta's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, claiming that Threads is a "banger" social media platform:

@Zuck, thank you. I know times were tough with the Metaverse stuff and surfing memes - but this, this app right here, is a banger. God bless you."
