Ever wanted to say something to the world, but want everyone to forget about it in a day? You can (sort of) do that on Threads, with a new feature called ghost posts (just in time for Halloween!).
On Monday, Meta‘s Twitter-like social network announced the feature, which basically means posts that are automatically archived after 24 hours. To create a ghost post, toggle on the ghost icon while creating a post.
Ghost posts are different from regular posts in several ways. Replies to ghost posts will be sent to your inbox, and only you will be able to see who liked them and replied to them.

In the announcement, Meta said you can now ” hare unfiltered thoughts and fresh takes without the pressure of permanence or polish.” The internet never forgets, though, so don’t go too unfiltered on these because the ghost posts can still be screenshotted.
Threads has been on a tear recently, having launched long (10,000 characters) text attachments, as well as Communities for live events.
