If you have no follow feed and you’re forced to come back and see low effort posts and pictures from influencers instead every time you check it out, yeah, that’ll do it.
- oseph 3y agoAfter most of my Threads sessions, my feed is essentially full of "Posts from this user have been muted" after silencing all the force-fed clickbait garbage tossed my way. The interface is clean and light and honestly I like it. But I'd like it even more if I could have a feed showing only the users I follow.
- tornato7 3y agoThis ruined Facebook years ago for me and continues to make social media unappealing. I used to open Facebook every day, scroll down to see all my friends' new posts, and then close it once it said "all caught up!" Of course, Facebook decided that the possibility of actually being "done" browsing Facebook for the day is a no-go, they want me engaged for 25 hours a day, so they will endlessly throw irrelevant crap at you.
- astrange 3y agoThe recommendation feed shows the issue with "filter bubble" theory - if you start seeing posts from people in your outgroup, it doesn't familiarize you with them, it makes you even /more/ annoyed with them. In the case of Threads for me that's a class of influencer that posts nothing but unsolicited love advice or things like "if your friends hurt you they were never really your friends" that are supposed to be 'relatable' but just make it sound like they have BPD.
