Twitter vs Threads; Which One Are You Using?

[Dead2009]

Personally I gave up on Threads as it was nothing but farming for posts looking for friends and all that garbage. It's gonna be a while before something comes along and actually dethrones Twitter.

Neither, I'm pretty averse to social media.

Isn't this forum social media? I get what you mean though, the big social media companies are best avoided. On them, you aren't the customer, you're the product, and the experience reflects that.

I kinda wish everybody in the world would install an ad blocker so companies are forced to find a new way to be profitable.

Let's not apply logic to forums, lol.

Yeah, technically forums are a form of social media, lol

The only time I "use" Twitter is when I see posts regarding things reported on the NFL or MLB. I have an account somewhere, but I've never used it.

I don't even know what that other one is, but I bet it's just as shit.

Threads is the Twitter clone made by the Facebook/Instagram people.

even more reason to never use it...

Ugh, Facebook doesn't need to own any more social media companies. IMO they shouldn't have even been allowed to buy insta.

Trying their hardest to centralize the internet. Federated internet ftw.

Granted, I used to browse twitter for keeping tabs on sports insiders, but never bothered to create to an account. Never saw the need to have one when I wouldn't be posting, period.

But of course, Elon fucked it up. You can't view posts in chronological order or be able to search anything anymore. So stupid.

twitter used to be my main social media but i deleted the twitter app off my phone as a new year’s resolution this year and it’s been SO good for my mental health. the king of being divorced has made the site actively hostile to anyone who doesn’t have more than a passing familiarity with terms like “AGP” and “white replacement theory”

This is going to be a shameless plug, but GWF ftw! I've never been a fan of centralized platforms like that. Way too much narcissism & negativity for my liking.

I much prefer communities like this one, where you can just kick back, relax, and have a good time with the fine people here.
