Bug Hits Some Threads Users: Their Words Echoed by All Other Users

This week a bug hit some Threads users (on both desktop and mobile). "One user's post will get repeated over and over again..." explains TechCrunch, "as though every user on your feed is saying the same thing." "Siri, unsubscribe me from 2025," one Threads user wrote, per a screenshot from social media expert Alexa Heinrich. But then, everyone else on Heinrich's feed appeared to be echoing the same cheugy joke... While it's not yet clear what caused the bug, Meta Communications Director Andy Stone responded to app researcher Jane Manchun Wong's post about the issue. "Whoops, well that clearly shouldn't have happened! We're working on getting it fixed now," Stone said. I thought the bug was only affecting user feeds (and not replies). But either way, Wong came up with the perfect comeback. "Whoops, well that clearly shouldn't have happened! We're working on getting it fixed now." Read more of this story at Slashdot.
