As I see it there are really two twitters: consumption twitter and conversation twitter. Consumption twitter is where people go to follow celebrities, athletes, news publications, brands, etc. Most twitter users don’t post, they belong to consumption twitter.
Then there’s conversation twitter. It’s smaller but it was there from the beginning, even before the celebrities showed up in force.
It seems to me that Threads will capture the consumption twitter market. I’m far from convinced that Threads will capture the conversation twitter market. So far, Bluesky feels to me the most like early twitter, community-wise.

Threads is already discouraging the type of brawling, political discussions you get on Twitter. But it's amazing if you're wanting to talk about entertainment, photography, sports etc as the tone is more fun and positive courtesy of all of the Instagram people and the assertive moderation.
