Ian Rennie: In a lowkey way Threads is the weirdest major social network because it never feels like you are actually connected to anything. You're just drifting along past these conversations that happened 7 hours ago.

X increasingly has many of the worst traits of Twitter-under-Musk *and* Threads' weird 'gas leak social network' effect.

In a lowkey way Threads is the weirdest major social network because it never feels like you are actually connected to anything. You're just drifting along past these conversations that happened 7 hours ago.

I'll be scrolling though my phone and start feeling increasingly like I'm having some kind of mental event and then I'll realize with relief that I just ended up on Threads without realising it again.

I still find this hard: They aren’t talking about the 1984 nuclear fallout film; They aren’t talking about the 1984 nuclear fallout film; They aren’t talking about the 1984 nuclear fallout film; They aren’t talking about the 1984 nuclear fallout film; They aren’t talking about the 1984 nuke film;

Yeah, I feel isolated in Threads.

I do follow a fair few people there but it doesn't feel like there's any ongoing conversations with people I know.
