Threadless

It took less than 24 hours for me to delete the Threads app from my phone.

Hate groups Libs of TikTok, Moms for Liberty, Gays Against Groomers, and PragerU are already on Threads and harassing people. Apparently PragerU even already has a blue “verified” checkmark.

I’ve updated my bio there to say that I’m not using the service, and put up a post similar to this one telling people why I’m leaving and where to find me.

It had already given me a bad first impression, as there is only one feed and it’s all an algorithmic constant stream of crap from obnoxious randos and (so, so many) brands, with no way to filter it out to just the people you actually want to follow or get a chronological view of posts.

And there’s no way to add alt text to images, so accessibility is obviously an afterthought, at best.

Threads does not get my recommendation. If you choose to explore, good luck and stay safe.
