I have Instagram because in my country it's the only way to contact some businesses. And they are mingling threads posts in between the IG posts.

That's a great way to make situation worse.

The worse part is that it looks like a screenshot of Threads, but when you look closely it's actually an IFrame of the whole Threads post with a link to go there and a tiny text advertisement to activate your Threads account.
