I’ve tried Threads. Downloaded it the day it came out to see what the hubbub was about. Meh is how I describe it. I read your linked article on the dark side of it. Spot on article! Since there’s more that I do NOT like about it I will taper off it quickly. You pretty much listed out the things I don’t like about Threads. I suppose the chief one is that it’s a Zuckerberg product! I just don’t trust him. I prefer to wait for my Bluesky invite (little more trust there). I signed up, and am looking forward to trying that out.
We both may die of old age before seeing a Bluesky invite! I've been waiting since it first started. I hear you can 'buy' and invite on ebay for $20. How funny is that!
Concerning Threads.. I left FB in 2016 and never did Instagram. The incentive for me to sign on to yet another rich guys project is slim to none. I enjoy Reddit for my social media needs. I subscribe to Substack/Public Notice for journalists and writers I admire. - Chris Cillizza, Dan Rather, Robert Reich, Aron Rupar, Heather Cox Richardson, and you.... So many great writers out there.
I signed up for Threads and I've been using it extensively since launch because it's a way to reconnect with some folks. Mixed feelings but I will stick with it for a bit.

You were pre-emptively banned from Threads? Seems like something newsworthy that one of the big tech news sites should be covering.
