 @9b033548 Threads is such a joke. I log in every once in awhile. All I see is celebrity post after celebrity post with no way of seeing anything from people I follow without the spam. I realize I’m not their primary demographic, but somehow they managed to make a less usable version of Twitter (at least it has lists and a chronological view so you can ignore the celebrity garbage).

 @9042307f I’ve actually found that a good number of people I routinely interacted with on Twitter around a few specific topics seem to have made the move to Threads. Particularly some of the folks involved with marketing / communications who very often already had a presence on Instagram. Some of those folks are also here on Mastodon, or in some cases tried it out, but many seem to have chosen Threads for their new online home. So there are people there for me to interact with.

 @9b033548 Are you finding your main timeline is filled with people you follow or random celebrities? I have quite a few people I follow there, but never see their posts. Don’t know if it’s because they’re not posting a lot or if Threads prioritizes celebrity content.

 @9042307f I don't see any celebrities in my Threads timeline. It's all people I know or follow.
