Threads only has one timeline, its like scrolling through Twitter 'For You' tab. It fuckin sucks.

The first posts it gave me were Maddox and Ninja's wife. 0/10

I think it works like Instagram where it basically shows you new posts from accounts you actually follow but then the endless scroll seemlessly transitions into algo-feed slop when it runs out of "new" stuff from your follows instead of showing you older posts from them.

Nope. And you need an Insta account to sign up.

lol ok I played with it a bit and as soon as you start refreshing the feed it's just the worst garbage with no trace of the accounts you actually follow and no obvious way to go look at the posts of the accounts you actually follow. wow, they really took the twitter For You and made it 100x worse.

The thing is like 4 hours old. It’s normal that you’re not getting much relevant content yet. Most of the poo poo you care about likely hasn’t even joined yet.

Your flesh is an insult to the perfection of the digital.
Having no account is currently the best way to experience twitter, because you can go to individual tweets posted in places like this and the reply section is empty. No more boosted bluechecks or urge to do the forbidden Reading Of Comments. Thanks, Elon!

After half an hour or so, Threads strikes me as a sloppy rush job Twitter clone but my feed isn't flooded with genocide propaganda or crypto bots and it has potential if they make the main feed more relevant so it's overall an improvement.

Threads is so bad, just an algorithm nightmare. It's fascinating they could debut such a badly made thing.

Y'know, if we're really looking for a new social forum that isn't arbitrated by awful algorithmic feeds, the youtube video referenced in this classic Onion bit actually exists and is still online with comments open.

I think after they spent a billion dollars to fail to make a worse version of second life, it's becoming less fascinating by the iteration.

The Instagram default timeline is trash so it's not surprising so is threads. They at least added a following feed for ig, so hopefully they realize they should do it for threads too.

Given that they were DDOSing themselves, they may in fact have record attempted traffic.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

That kind of owns, and hearing this, I half expect them to roll it into Instagram as an extension of featureset.

I'm gonna go sign up, just the act of opening Twitter evokes disappointment.
