Whoa. Maybe I take back some of the things I said about the level of discourse on Threads. Apparently after the biased debate coverage and the anti-voting screed, The People bullied them off the platform.
In my experience it’s the worst parts of Twitter plus a bunch of influencers talking mostly to each other, but other people seem to get a decent amount of value out of it
My experience with Threads is like what if you had the discoverability problem any fediverse site faces combined with the Meta algorithm that only feeds you posts about one topic at a time. There may be corners of Threads worth reading but there's no way to get there unless you already know how
I feel like a corporation, especially a news organization, should at least pretend to be open to dealing with people who disagree with it. It's kind of pathetic that they'd leave. Organizations don't have feelings to be hurt, and shouldn't operate like they do.
