The level of discourse on Threads is not encouraging

40 years of underfunding public education on full display

It's not even just the rampant underfunding. It's also the funneling of that money to unaccredited charter school programs which are actively teaching counterfactual curriculum. We're speed running stupidity.

I was all set to agree before even seeing the thread… and then I saw it was about Threads and… yeeeeah.

Worth noting that they may not all actually use Threads: One of Threads conditions of signing up - the specific one that made me not sign up - was that once you have a Threads account, you can NEVER get rid of it unless you delete your entire Meta/Facebook/Instagram account! 😲

The way Meta keeps begging me to "join" threads from IG somehow I wonder if those numbers are real people or just AI/bots "engaging" with each other.

Only on Bluesky and I often think wow the intelligence here is so reassuring - then I remember I only follow authors so my sample may be biased 😆

Hence why I largely stay off there

When I first saw threads posts on FB that they were trying to use to hook me, it was all extreme right-wing and gun nut nonsense. I looked at the site once but it was all celebs shilling themselves. I don't get it. No surprise it is bad.

Agreed. But remember Threads only has 190 million users and there’s almost eight billion people on this planet.

It's pretty much the same quality as here if you look in the right places. Sadly mostly completely different people on either one or the other but not both.

I bailed on that place after about a week.
