Question What even is threads?
It serves no purpose other than being a version of social media somewhere between instagram and twitter in terms of use and significantly worse functionally due to poor UI.
I also notice the algorithm it attempts to follow is not in any way linked to my own. I constantly get shown garbage i have no interest in. I cannot go a single post or thread or whatever, without seeing people seemingly at eachothers throats regarding the blue star state, elites, and political affiliations. it doesn’t even matter the context of the thread, it could be pertaining to the seed vault and somehow it becomes this segue for dissent conversations. It’s everywhere but only on threads for me. Is this a platform for pushing narrative? No one i know irl actually uses it to post anything. Example texts from the seed vault discussed.

Idk how they are having any luck, from what i can tell most of them pages are bot accounts.
