I agree. I don’t even go there anymore, much less stress. I stayed away right after the election and checked in twice last week to see how many followers had left. Not fun any more, it’s too toxic. This is a better, I’m glad to be here, too.
Actually, I like Threads. It was where I landed over a year ago when I escaped That Other Place. But Zuckerberg is getting weirder too… so, will have to leave all Meta behind at some point.
It doesn’t matter how many bells and whistles Threads or Xhitter have if the owners are suppressing your reach and speech with their algorithms.
I’ve read posts on Bluesky where accounts are getting 5-10 times the engagement on Bluesky with less than half the number of followers.
I had 3300 folwrs on X Since 5/24, since openly criticizing him, my posts had less than 100 views each & most were under 60 views each. Views, not likes/comments, VIEWS. Even if only 10% of my followers saw it, that would be at least 300+ views. Here? Comments/likes on almost everything I’ve posted.
Threads is hella clunky. This is elegant and familiar. And fuck Zuckerberg. How long did it take him to get rid of that that Sandy Hook Hoax shit? Not to mention 2016 - fuck him forever.

This seems to be filling the void just fine.
