MODERATORS
It’s tied to Instagram, and lots of people exchange instagram as a form of contact (which is weird already), so it’s already got huge potential once people find out about it. It’s very possible it supplants Twitter with how that’s going.

This thing is gonna take off.
Meh, for 'normies', if you want to put it that way, maybe. But a lot of people that used twitter before used it exactly because it allowed you to use an 'online only' persona. A nickname, nothing else.
