Article Update: In less than 2 days, #Threads somehow gets even worse!
https://rentsuru.medium.com/its-been-5-minutes-and-instagram-s-threads-already-sucks-f10d507807ed
My feed is now all those interesting people, places, & publications that I followed on #Instagram over the years reacting & replying to celebrities & brands like Dunkin Donuts and fucking Paris Hilton.
Or worse, seeing celebrities & brands replying to each other.
Awesome. 😬

So… The Twitter replacement is getting used like Twitter, by people (and brands) who bailed from Twitter?
Surprised face.
@RxBrad agreed, BUT with Threads, you see all these brands & celebrities in your feed even if someone you follow just likes something from them! You get assaulted by corporations!
So very thankful for the Fediverse.
Yeah, the forced algorithm is the worst.
Here’s my extremely unpopular opinion… Because they’re eventually Fediverse’ing, if you actually wanted to follow some of those brands/celebrities/orgs/etc, you could do so with a non-Threads Mastodon client and completely excise The Algorithm.
But, let’s just defederate instead, I guess, and remove that option.
@kobra@lemmy.world @RxBrad@lemmy.world - don’t forget the opportunity to raise of awareness of the FOSS fediverse as well. Interractions like this are what make me think that there might be a bright side to Threads federating
I basically logged in once. Long enough to post, “yo, this algorithm is gross”. Then went back to Mastodon.
