from day one you can see the people you've followed. Just go to your profile and click "following".
As for the general implementation, I'm with you on the problems of lacking a feed with only posts from those you follow. But according to the Threads team, this was a minimally-viable-product and features like that are coming soon.
Other than that, it's been very smooth in my experience. And much less full of crap that Twitter. Though that's likely due to it being brand new.
- synetic 3y agoI just checked it out. I’m on the iPad. I clicked on the icon for my profile. It shows a grayed out text that says “0 followers”. There is no link for a list of people I’m following and there is no display of who I’m following. After a while of poking around I see that if I click on “0 followers” - and it is not obvious at all that this is a link - I get taken to a page that shows that I have zero followers. There is a tab that says “Following”. I click on it and it shows who I’m following. This is a shitty app. It is user hostile. It’s way more crappy than Twitter. I’ve blocked around 100 people and I still get dumb influencers on my feed. Clearly I have no desire to see what Selena Gomez or any other similar person is doing.
- taberiand 3y agoSounds like it might be working as expected - weeding out the unprofitable users by pushing marketing hard and finding out who will put up with it
- synetic 3y agoIt’s not working well if they already have lost half their daily users. Did you read the article? The standard play for new entrants is to make a great experience and then slowly make it suck more by injecting intrusive ads into the experience. If Facebook’s strategy is as you seem to suggest, namely make it suck to begin with, then Threads will likely fail.
