Three weeks since I stopped posting to Threads. I don’t miss it. If they ever actually finish the ActivityPub rollout, I’ll migrate my followers to Micro.blog and keep avoiding Meta. Your milage may vary.
@manton The only reason I still have an account there is so I can take design cues from their excellently designed apps
@manton They’ve done good work on the Threads app. I’ve never got anything but good responses from the team there. Just the leadership is on the wrong track.
@manton I got annoyed early on as they sent me Instagram notification that “such n such would like to see me on threads”, which was obviously a lie. I never signed up.
@bloftin2 Those notifications are the worst. Just blatant attempts to get their users and engagement up.
@manton I’m still crossposting, but I turned off as many notifications besides replies as I can, hid all the Threads stuff shoved into Instagram, and removed the app from my Home Screen. I’m not missing it either, and too look forward to when I can just point people there to my Mb account.
@manton Meta may have changed its name to redeem its image, but the foundations of its highly questionable business policy are unshakeable…
@manton I did the same thing around the same time - not connected to anything you posted AFAIK. I haven’t missed it either. It was starting to feel too much like Facebook with the Instagram crowd joining for my liking.
