Funny how Meta only *deigns* to listen to its user base when its own supremacy is threatened.

Too late.

Oh Threads is scared scared

Honestly, I'm done with Threads. The vibe here on BlueSky is much better. People's attitudes overall seem different here. Even those who I follow on both platforms. Something about Threads/Meta tends to bring out the worst in people.

pamelaa2.bsky.social•102 days ago

They shouldn't be prioritizing what users see. Users should be seeing what they want, not what Threads wants them to see. I never had an account there, anyway.

paddyonpolitics.bsky.social•102 days ago

Their user base is hanging on by a thread 🧵

dula.me•102 days ago

They gave me the boot overnight. No idea why.

ctrltxquilting.bsky.social•102 days ago

I kind of like it here.

Threads is Deads

aflow3r4democracy.bsky.social•102 days ago

I deleted threads a long time ago. I didn't like it at all.

ameliacj.bsky.social•102 days ago

I no longer like belonging to Zuckerberg's social media monopoly.

ameliacj.bsky.social•102 days ago

a year late...

serevi.bsky.social•102 days ago

I'm SHOCKED to discover that competition is good!

j3nnyz.bsky.social•102 days ago

Too damn late

toxteth1.bsky.social•102 days ago

A lot of us are noticing a steady bleed-off of followers on #threads. It apparently signals people are leaving the platform rather than unfollowing us. My count of followers on Bsky and Mastodon is increasing. Of course, if Mosseri were really worried, he'd throttle the censor bots...

twistedintel.bsky.social•102 days ago

seeee yaaaa ..... personally I left the "Meta" platform 10 years ago. Never had a twitter account, so I have no basis for comparison there.

rooktoven.bsky.social•102 days ago

Yep. I’m only staying there until most of the people I follow are here.

rumblydad.bsky.social•102 days ago

Too little too late, you missed your shot Threads. You offer no compelling reason for people to leave BlueSky and start over AGAIN, especially those just starting to rebuild after abandoning X. Amazingly bad business decisions at Meta.

garretnivlac.bsky.social•102 days ago

They can take their algorithm and shove it up the hole in their corporate culture.

kimberlypersinger.bsky.social•102 days ago

I literally just deleted threads.

suannelqr.bsky.social•102 days ago

Can you delete your Threads account without also deleting your Instagram account?

kimberlypersinger.bsky.social•102 days ago

You should be able to. My Instagram is still on my phone.

mousemedium.bsky.social•102 days ago

Can't sit here, Meta

greyhoodedbryan.bsky.social•102 days ago

God I wish they would just replace Mosseri already

presidentgrant.bsky.social•102 days ago

Zucc will never allow users to have control over their algorithm feed.

Decentralized social media is the future. Threads is dead.

prolibshow.com•102 days ago

We told them at the very, very beginning what we wanted and they completely ignored us

jocastaway.bsky.social•102 days ago

Threads died when they repeatedly ignored its users & allowed bullshit & bigotry to drive traffic

Too bad! See ya later

prolibshow.com•102 days ago

Absolutely!

cyndy-me.bsky.social•102 days ago

I think Zuck gave IG the same setting. 🙄

roshiitoshii.bsky.social•102 days ago

It’s really shocking that they had SUCH a head start and are scrambling to make the changes we wanted and found here , now. You had what over a YEAR?! Yes we like to talk about what we want without you throttling it, shocking.

kittyab.bsky.social•102 days ago

Well Zuck said he is fully cooperating with 45. No thanks, I will stay where I am at.

demfanatic.bsky.social•102 days ago

He is unbelievably rotten to the core and why I left threads

calidemocrat.bsky.social•100 days ago

I haven't been over to my threads acct in months. Oh well. I like it here.

radicalerin.bsky.social•102 days ago

Just remember, they've already showed us who they are. If they gain dominance as a platform for threads, they will return to bullshitting up your feed, again. The proof is the fact that Facebook still does it.

gloom303.com•102 days ago

The thing is.. this isn't going to work for them, because Threads isn't built on the same solid, individual configuration settings that Bluesky is. All you get by adding a bunch of political content into Threads is just more terrible political discourse. Congratulations Meta - you just made Twitter.

daniellee206.bsky.social•102 days ago

BlueSky leading the way

shakakimo.bsky.social•102 days ago

The only people i know who use threads are facebook or instagram users who are too disinterested to use other apps but stay on fb or insta for a few fam members that only use that service.

more62.bsky.social•102 days ago

Brian I can’t thank you enough for you going on Destiny’s podcast and with Jessiah on Pondering Politics and Pisco Podcast we need all of you Brian. Thank you for speaking truths and speaking up for all of us.

mkthefallen1.bsky.social•102 days ago

Threads needs to redo its entire algorithm. I dony wanna see thirst traps and scams all over their version of the timeline.

shelleycaro.bsky.social•102 days ago

I already left threads - they started to troll me when I posted links to source my post

mcsaltyson.bsky.social•102 days ago

after the zucks stupid 'apology' in the senate good riddens...

hikinmike.bsky.social•102 days ago

It is too late. I wanted Threads to succeed, mainly before Bluesky was viable, but they arrogantly drug their feet at user suggested improvements.

panthyr.bsky.social•102 days ago

"balancing the ability to reach followers and is tricky"

foxy-geezer.bsky.social•102 days ago

That guy literally destroyed Instagram, now he’s stabbed Threads in the cradle… What next? Secretary of Defense? World Bank Chairman? Failing Upward has become as American as New Coke and crony capitalism.

nervestapler.bsky.social•102 days ago

What is "threads"

lukyluc.bsky.social•102 days ago

For Facebook as well?

texast304.bsky.social•102 days ago

conanthered.bsky.social•102 days ago

susiemu45.bsky.social•102 days ago

Not a fan of anything Meta gets it's hands on . They are slowly destroying Instagram by pushing links to threads & FB

dad-8228.bsky.social•102 days ago

I am the worst motherfucking troll on Threads that the motherfucking Republicans cannot stand ha ha ha ha

dad-8228.bsky.social•102 days ago

I hope you politely told them to fuck the fuck off

tcansan.bsky.social•102 days ago

help, it's still arby's telling me that i'm sweaty for various reasons

thornyopinion.bsky.social•102 days ago

I already canceled my account. Threads was fine, but this is better.

oldsoulkat.bsky.social•102 days ago

Never on Twitter/X. Never on Threads. I'm here. 😊

projectspacetime.bsky.social•101 days ago

Points for using deign in a sentence.👏

kazfeist.bsky.social•102 days ago

I am thinking of leaving there as well. Just joined this year and found it hard to navigate with few posts from the folks I wanted to follow.

hkitty64.bsky.social•102 days ago

Dropping them today. I need another cathartic high after dumping X last week 😂

lindybeeb.bsky.social•102 days ago

Too late -we all already left Threads.

ricvic12020.bsky.social•102 days ago

Dropped them and Instagram. Rarely use Facebook anymore either. BlueSky is a fresh start. 💙

derekserra.com•102 days ago

Too late, Threads.

wheresalfonso25.bsky.social•102 days ago

I’m not gonna lie I am so done with threads.

Bland af and it’s only a child of the meta social media cancer.

I’m sure Zucc would rather you plug into his Facebook cancer feeder

aka-mykul.bsky.social•102 days ago

Agreed, too bad, so sad.

levidamien.bsky.social•102 days ago

“kEeP tHe fEeDbAcK cOmiNg” 👻😂

asteraceaeg.bsky.social•102 days ago

Changing their timeline to non-chronological did it for me on Instagram. It was illogical and nobody asked for it. Wasn’t interested in threads. 🤷🏻‍♀️

tamela.bsky.social•102 days ago

Fuck Meta & Zuckerberg

amyvernetti.bsky.social•102 days ago

Amazing how easy that was.

kateculliton.bsky.social•102 days ago

BWAHAHA. Screw you Zuck.
Go wither in your bunker

mssummerblossom.bsky.social•102 days ago

Is that not the same dude who doubted that Bsky had just overtaken Threads?

😂

angelao.bsky.social•102 days ago

I’m sad about threads. And still feel a bit overwhelmed here. Also I had 4k followers over there now I only have 400 here. But yeah meta really fucked it up. Lame 😒

jalapeno7.bsky.social•102 days ago

I don't want to be on platform owned by Zuckerberg or Musk. I am not sure how Jay Garber will do, but she deserves the opportunity.

chrees13.bsky.social•102 days ago

Contact your congress man/woman and request inauguration tickets! Then forget to go. They only get a limited number 😂🤣 let Trump think it’s gonna be massive…it’ll be almost empty if we do it the right way.

usmc86.bsky.social•102 days ago

hey mark....your "threads" are in tatters..... time to say bye.

jamiesawyer336.com•102 days ago

We’ve only been asking them to show us people we follow since the beginning. 🙄 I haven’t been on threads as much these days anyway.

tyler-g47.bsky.social•102 days ago

yeah im not going back to threads, just escaped 1 crazed right wing nut, threads is ran by another right wing nut

zievarrenna.bsky.social•102 days ago

Imagine ... people want to see content from accounts they follow, and not as much from accounts they don't. I, for one, am SHOCKED at this revelation.

zoffset.bsky.social•102 days ago

Fuck threads

soullessscythe.bsky.social•100 days ago

no no, they won, so they dont need to influence your decisions anymore...

stanrmitchell.com•102 days ago

Yep. Way too late.

They shouldn’t have throttled/hidden Substack links.

Way to piss off the creators out there.

dmooney9.bsky.social•102 days ago

That's why I dropped threads

monicaliming.bsky.social•102 days ago

Too bad, so sad 😭 most of us have already deleted them.

mrot777.bsky.social•102 days ago

Fuck Meta!

stevemcleodon.bsky.social•102 days ago

Fuck them! Too little and too late. They chose a side by throttling posts, they can fuck right off.

tjaye.bsky.social•102 days ago

Now they have their boy in power they are quite happy to relax their suppression of the consumer

amsteffydam.bsky.social•102 days ago

This is just a valve they will open back up again once they feel they have beaten the competition.

innerhalo.bsky.social•102 days ago

Zuckerberg/meda is right wing-oriented. I noticed that very quickly when they slapped a 'False Information' flag/blur over an AI ILLUSTRATION of the Statue of Liberty covering her face with her hand.

kimbant.bsky.social•102 days ago

And refuse to do anything about abusive trolls. Last one I reported for their disgusting comments, I was told they had a right to be there. Also ads,ads and more ads

basedhits.bsky.social•102 days ago

Threads never really began, this isn't gonna save them.

efbenzal.bsky.social•102 days ago

I am just grateful to finally have a good place to go to escape Zuck and Meta.

tectonica.bsky.social•102 days ago

Screw zuckerfucker. I want nothing to do with Zuck's or Elon's shitty media platforms. They are weirdos.

rjkmoto.bsky.social•102 days ago

And also just happens to be -after- the election. They did the same shit in 2016. Then they quietly ramp up the batshit each year the next election looms. Fuck Moosk and ZFuckerberg.

rockinruby.bsky.social•102 days ago

Fuck 'em.

jessewestbennett.com•102 days ago

every time a head of product backpedals on an obviously poor decision, a team of UX researchers gets its wings

cybogoblin.bsky.social•102 days ago

Looks like Threads is unravelling before it can properly knit itself into the fabric of society.
