Spent about 10-15 minutes browsing in #Threads and it was not enjoyable.
Pretty quickly all my friend's posts (those whom use it, that carried over from Insta and FB automatically) were seen and the infuriating algorithm started pushing "popular content" my way.
All of said popular content was either engagement bait, confidently ignorant Americans posting lazy opinions or AI slop. Few comedy and comic accounts I used to follow were sprinkled amongst all the negativity.
I do enjoy the wittiest comments in the most stupid posts, but goddamn that's a toxic environment to be social in.
I'll probably forget about this in a month and do the same again.

in full honestly, i absolutely love this poll.
it says so much about our world. it lists 3 innocent groups being murdered w/ US drones, & the 1 wholly unrelated group who nonetheless happily cheers on all of those innocent deaths
not for my own ego, but i would leap for joy if this poll became so popular it started popping up on #threads & bsky. i just want to easily spot the evil people who fail this poll

no luck on my last reason/logic test. let's try a funner #poll
Complete this analogy - Butter is to toast as a drone strike is to:
a Ukrainian apartment building: 0 an Iranian girls school: 0 a Venezuelan fishing boat: 0 a MAGA rally: 0
Last Week in the #ATmosphere:
- 20 million accounts on #Bluesky
- #Threads is taking the competition with Bluesky serious; Bluesky might be closer in size to Threads than thought
- experiments with visualising the firehose
- and a ton of links
