Some of the people using Threads on its first day tell the BBC what they think about the app and its future.
You know who’s not?
^~ This guy.
I’d rather jump into a pit filled with rattlesnakes!
I also don’t make a living trying to influence people into buying shit they don’t need.
I’m with you on that, but adjusts fedora why did it have to be snakes?

I joined it with a fake account so I could check it out and immediately left once I realized there isn’t a place to just see the people I chose to follow. I was being bombarded by so much shit that it was just an awful time.
there isn’t a place to just see the people I chose to follow
Given the direction of IG in recent years, this isn’t very surprising.
How do I know that I don’t want to join Facebook’s next social media community (besides you know, everything)? That title. 🤢
Threads won’t take off as a Twitter replacement, it doesn’t allow any NSFW. A lot of the people I know only use Twitter because it allows NSFW art to be posted.
@Sylveon@kbin.social Someone on mastodon was saying you can’t even say “Boobs” on Threads.
A good reason to not use it
influencers
Sometimes I don’t like the 21st century anymore.
I’ve used it a bit. It’s a somewhat meh cross between Instagram and Twitter, as expected.
Fine by me, I’ll just follow the Threads users I care to follow from Kbin/Mastodon once they federate, and avoid all the influencers and brands.
‘Almost every influencer will be hopping on it’
Well that guarantees I won’t be. That sounds awful.

They jumó at any opportunity that could pay their rent. I bet most of their posts get copy/pasted to a half dozen social media apps/sites. One more isn’t going to change anything.
