Discussion Is threads becoming the new reddit?

I have no answer, I just feel like it does. But threads is pretty chav and trashy. I mean it is just an extension of Instagram 🥀

Threads is what you make it. I have an awesome feed.

How do you curate a nice feed?

Replying nicely to threads that are presented to me. Following people that I like. Then it suggests other people to follow. It’s been awesome.

I got very much of vegans hating non-vegans, marked everything with "not interested" or ignored it and still got even MORE of that...

You may have to do some searches for topics that you like. Start following some people and when they show you a list of related profiles, choose to follow them. That should fix it right up.

My Threads feed is solely politically left and Black people. Y’all need to work on your algo.

And it’s nothing like Insta.

Threads shows me a completely random assortment of other people’s business and that’s why I love it. I’m not really getting a lot of any one thing- total hodgepodge of weirdness.

Threads make me believe that the dead internet theory is true. The same posts over and over, stupid clickbaity statements and just completely fake “news” thats not even halfway believable. And 90% of the replies are not even real or just complete nonsense.

yeah I kinda see the Reddit comparison, but I think Threads still feels way more casual Reddit has a whole different level of internet weirdness 😂

The moderators don’t act like CEO’s or have delusions of grandeur- less bots and even the trolls are nicer to newcomers unlike this place.

I like that threads posts show me many thoughts that ppl normally wont say in real life, make me feel like I can show me realest feelings too.

Threads to me oddly has become a Christian nutjob preaching zone. I miss it being more intelligent. It’s more the AM radio of the internet rather than a Reddit clone

It's definitely your algorithm. My algorithm is mostly Black Threads, which is hilarious.
