The thing is that neither Facebook nor Instagram show me my friends, but rather show me organizations, advertisements, influencer videos, more ads, oh look there's a friend!!!, another organization, a spam request, someone sharing hate speech, more ads... why would threads be different?
Meta has categorically demonstrated its interest only in for-pay broadcast (although Facebook's groups remain excellent models of walled garden social media) with minimal cross-network community building in open settings.
Not only that but their pivot from photos to reels on Instagram really did a whole social network of creators dirty. Can’t trust them. They will end you in a second for their quarterly report.
