The current Threads experience

I haven’t used threads and I never will, but it’s nice to see that it’s not a great user experience even for people who are used to meta.

    I signed up and tied it. It’s utter chaos, forced algorithmic feed, you can’t even only view posts from people you follow, you’re force fed random crap from American celebs.

      I have no desire to try Threads for myself (apparently you need an Instagram account to even start, which kills any modicum of interest I might have stone dead right there), but I have been noting down my favorite descriptions of the Threads experience from various bloggers and social media posts:

      • like a 90s-themed office party organized by a human resources department.
      • like when a local restaurant you enjoy opens a location in an airport.
      • like if an entire social network was those posts that tell you what successful entrepreneurs do before 6AM.
      • like watching a Powerpoint from the Brand Research team where they tell you that Pop Tarts is crushing it on social.
      • like Casual Friday on LinkedIn.
