You can't post ass, Threads is doomed
Threads, the Meta-owned Twitter clone, is corny at best and leeching your personal data at worst. Unfortunately, it's also boring.
You're viewing a single thread.
I dread the (IMO likely) possibility that users will just accept Zuck’s overlordship since everyone they follow on Twitter will be on Threads as he enshittifies the platform with industrial-scale data harvesting, endless ads, a stiflingly puritanical content policy, and algorithms designed to maximize short-term profits rather than spark conversations, leaving users wanting more than pablum with nowhere to go. It would be the end of an era of social media freedom if that were the case.
...as he enshittifies the platform
The interesting thing is that Zuck has managed to innovate and start out enshittified. Out of the gate, you can't see/find/access a feed of just your friends so you're immediately drinking from a firehose of posts from people who you wouldn't want to spend ten minutes on line with.
everyone they follow on Twitter
I fucked off Twitter months ago, so I don't follow anyone over there. Check. Mate. Zuckerfucker!
Months? I ditched in 2019.
I did too, then came crawling back six months later.
I think it was easy for me because I had a couple of very public, negative interactions with people who were very prominent in my field of employment, and avoiding potentially career-limiting-interactions saved me a lot of personal stress.
Yeah, that'll help.
