Fired up #Threads and scrolled for a few minutes through the content that was placed in my timeline by The Almighty Algorithm.

Gotta say, if #Meta were going for a first impression of "Wow I care about literally none of this inane bullshit" then they nailed it.

@bitflipped I have seriously contemplated downloading it, dropping a one star review for the app and then posting a few promos for Lemmy and mastodon before jumping ship. If you give me the word, internet stranger, I’ll do it.
@mysoulishome At 2.7 stars I dare say it's doing bad enough on its own, but no doubt many people will use it in the hope that <internet celebrity> will acknowledge their existence for a brief moment by pressing The Button.
@mysoulishome That sounded less "Old man yells at cloud" in my head... oh well, I accept and welcome my cynical fate.
@bitflipped Yelling at a cloud actually seems appropriate for complaining about social media…but it still needs to be done. There are deeper issues behind the Reddit migration and threads backlash…people are wising up to these clowns.
