   Threads is currently the WORST of text based social media, just everyone one it is confidently wrong and a bit thick. More so than any place on the internet, more so than half the academics who commented to “not all academics” on my post about academics who then proved my hypothesis. It is Karen central.

     @ianbetteridge it reminds me of going to work in the office at the job that fired me for being gay back in the day. Just the most basic humans all being wrong about everything and backing each other up

     @ianbetteridge I was really hoping it'd be more like the TikTok algorithm and find stuff you enjoy to keep you on site, but they really haven't learned that generating anger clicks only keeps older, more right wing people on site. It's the cognitive decline algorithm

     @BethanyBlack My time on it has massively tailed off over the past few weeks. There are a few people who are only on there, and some brands and companies I want to follow, but ironically the algorithm almost never shows me content I want to read. Instead it’s just endless bilge.
