Article Update: In less than 2 days, #Threads somehow gets even worse!

https://rentsuru.medium.com/its-been-5-minutes-and-instagram-s-threads-already-sucks-f10d507807ed

My feed is now all those interesting people, places, & publications that I followed on #Instagram over the years reacting & replying to celebrities & brands like Dunkin Donuts and fucking Paris Hilton.

Or worse, seeing celebrities & brands replying to each other.

Awesome. 😬

    Yeah, the forced algorithm is the worst.

    Here’s my extremely unpopular opinion… Because they’re eventually Fediverse’ing, if you actually wanted to follow some of those brands/celebrities/orgs/etc, you could do so with a non-Threads Mastodon client and completely excise The Algorithm.

    But, let’s just defederate instead, I guess, and remove that option.

        I basically logged in once. Long enough to post, “yo, this algorithm is gross”. Then went back to Mastodon.
