Twitter is taking on Facebook Groups and Reddit with “Communities” https://t.co/IJbA5BACR2

Basically, Twitter is launching discussion groups. It's somewhat akin to Facebook groups, except without all the High School Alumni Groups https://t.co/CqQFBYXET2

Excited to share Twitter Communities!

A new way to join, start, and find the discussions around the communities you care about.

Today we launch in testing with a few Communities that will continue to grow over time

This has the potential to be a big hit for twitter

But it will change the fundamental dynamics of how twitter works

Tweets are no longer just public or private or deleted.

You have super follower only tweets (subscription), community only tweets, and maybe more to come. 1/2 https://t.co/0JELidKv0x

Video summary: upbeat music plays as Tweets searching for communities enter the screen. A Tweet is typed, the author selects a new menu & sends to a specific Community—Black Women Photographers. Icons of Black women, cameras & film symbolizing the conversation fill the screen.

today we're rolling out our first public testing of Communities, which gives people a place to have more focused conversations with people who share the same interests.

Twitter is going head-to-head with Facebook Groups with its new invitation-only Communities.

Consider how this might integrate with @TwitterSpaces and there's a lot of potential here.https://t.co/1LzO1Yb36h via @Verge

Twitter's newest product, "Communities," seems like its answer to subreddits/Facebook Groups/discord servers.

Smart idea IMO to experiment with devolving some moderation power to users and restoring some of the context that the main Twitter feed collapses. https://t.co/9Z0KBds9Kx
