Is Threads really different?

November 26, 2023

I used Threads for a bit before it closed the door on Europeans and many VPN users again.

I didn’t see anything new or revolutionary there—another social network. Yes, now it seems that your messages are seen by different people and you see messages from different people (and this is already bad ;-), but the network was launched recently.

Here is opinion that Threads causes internal conflict and that- it will force you to change in life:

There is also a feeling that threads develops an interesting internal conflict in people:

Social the network offers unprecedented mechanisms for involving strangers, but many have nothing to offer them to develop this involvement. Someday you start to get tired of nudes, good mornings, sucking on m/f topics, etc.

I think in this social network. networks have a certain cultural threshold. And she will force you to change something in your life as the number of people here grows :)

Evolutionary algorithms in action :)

All this is beautiful in theory, but in practice a mass product always adapts to the majority. Most likely, gradually Threads will motivate people to write nonsense (for example, by promoting it). Society is like this, which means a mass product will make money from it while it can, and not try to “grow” an audience.

Threads is young and so far it really seems democratic and interesting. But I predict that very soon it will turn into Twitter.

I want to be wrong and see a social network that, as the author noted in the post above, will force users to change something in their lives.
