    Facebook, whilst it is full of people I know doing nothing interesting, has a place. There are many good and useful communities on there.

    Instagram is handy but ultimately full of influencers who have created a lifestyle of looking cool and being paid by thirsty brands, fuck you gymshark!

    Twitter is, well full of people talking crap.

    Threads would appear to take the worst of all of them and mash it together. I’m tempted to install it but not yet. How long do we give it until it dies off?

      Note that the data it collects is the maximum possible - every data -oriented privilege possible. And note that you can’t remove it without deleting your Instagram account.

      To me, installing Threads to see what it’s like is like having unprotected sex with a crack-addict in an alley to see what it’s like: I’m not curious enough to take the risks and I’m guessing the experience isn’t that great anyways.

        Much like having unprotected sex with a crack addict, it will probably leave you full of regret and probably a burning sensation in your gentlemen parts for some time.

        I think I’ll give it a miss for a while.
