Will people here use/try Meta’s #threads when available? Would love to know the reasons or if it would be just for fun/curiosity.
The amount of data collected is insane imo.

People on Twitter are already trying it because Twitter has been shit.
Someone in my circle created their account and already deleted it. Their explanation was a FAQ screenshot for Threads saying that it doesn’t matter who you follow or who follows you, the algorithm will show or hide things from you based on what they think you will enjoy and there’s no way around it and you also can’t sort by new.
I mean, are companies really paying attention to user needs? Lol
I’ve stopped using LinkedIn because it keeps defaulting to Relevant instead of Recent, and Relevant apparently means posts from 2 weeks ago. But at least there you can manually set it to Recent every time.
A social medium where sorting by Recent is impossible will be a no-go.
My current issue with LinkedIn is that they’re trying so hard to force me to use their app on mobile.
The latest way is that they’re no longer allowing you to do the “easy apply” from mobile without their app.
I don’t want the damn app though. There’s no good reason to lock features that work fine on a desktop browser away from mobile users unless they install the app.
I often wonder if these are the result of some middle-manager just doing things to justify their job. Like website redesigns most of the time feel like someone needed to justify their job. It’s almost always worse than the old design. How can you take what you had and then “improve” it by making it worse?
