Meta execs claim Threads is growing rapidly but even if that's true the growth is not benefiting people like me who post about political issues. I've LOST several hundred followers on Threads since election day.
Meanwhile, I post very similar content on Bluesky and my account has grown quickly

Not impressed
No Facebook
No Instagram
Nothing Meta.
Has everyone forgotten how Zuckerberg had the Trump campaign inside Facebook headquarters in 2016, rigging the election for Trump?
Never forget the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
Boycott all things Meta.
Keep getting friend requests from total strangers, who then repeat them several times .
I think Threads is infested with bots.
Not sure what you're so surprised about.
I doubt it’s real. It’s a truly terrible site.
Corporations just can’t sit still while the Public Square engages amongst themselves without the corporation.
Eliminate Citizens United.
Yesterday.
They will leak accounts to Bluesky now after it became more visible.

Ultimately if they don't do that.. they are not performing, they are keeping you dependent for distribution.
Threads seems more social than political.
FWIW, I'm probably one of those lost followers because I just deactivated my threads account
Followed by lots of ads for expensive but shit stuff.
Try basic tbings that anyone can Google could find out more quickly than asking via threads like “what does Wednesday even mean?”
And boom people flood in.
Insta’s integration with FB is bad enough on its own.
Threads is just Instagram covered with a thin coat of cheap paint. Hasta la vista.
I'd much rather look into the clear Blue Sky......
Excuse the pun....
Are on both. It is counterproductive
Don't worry about the numbers.
It's taken me only a few days here to realize I'm pretty much done with Threads.
