It will be based on a decentralized social networking protocol, ActivityPub, which also powers Mastodon.
Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Platforms is working on a new social media app that will allow users to post text updates, the company has confirmed in a statement. The app, codenamed P92, is being viewed as a competitor to Elon Musk-led Twitter.
Although Twitter was never the most popular social media platform, its users have found themselves looking for alternatives after the world's richest person, Elon Musk, acquired it last year.
earlier this month. Moneycontrol.com, an India-based business news website, first revealed that Meta is also working on a competing product, P92.Per the news outlet's internal product brief, P92 is a standalone text-based content app that will carry the Instagram brand. Users will be able to log in and sign up to the platform using their Instagram credentials, and in the initial stages, users will be able to broadcast their posts to others.
Since the platform plans to use a decentralized structure where user profiles will be located on different servers, it is unclear whether users can follow others and view the content of users from other servers. While these features, along with the ability to comment on content and message people directly, are expected to be eventually included, the product's first version, when launched, might have the bare bones of a social media app. This would be a user name, bio, verification badge, and tappable links in posts that will provide previews, much like Twitter.
