This whole article assumes that Threads as-launched is where it will stay. No thread-search, no pure-follows feed, etc. Obviously it was launched immature because Twitter was imploding at the time. I think people will be surprised how fast a fresh, clean product with a shiny new codebase and a "move fast and break things" ideology can iterate. Yes, if Threads stays as-is, it will remain vapid and lose the many people who've jumped onboard looking for an alternative to Musk's mess. The algorithmic feed full of milquetoast celebrity bon mots is aggressively mediocre. But it's reached the critical mass of users it needs to be viable, and as long as they can deliver on their promised features in time it will give Twitter a serious run for its money. I'm just disappointed how slow Mastodon has been to learn all that.
