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. 😬

    @renwillis I got on Threads for like 10 mins and immediately noped out. I couldn’t put my finger on why I hated it so much, and didn’t care enough to waste the brain space to figure it out. You managed to encapsulate what I was feeling perfectly in your write up.

    So… The Twitter replacement is getting used like Twitter, by people (and brands) who bailed from Twitter?

    Surprised face.

        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.
