While I agree, news is what has kept twitter/x relevant. So it's also a death knell imho. I am open to being wrong. I just dont see threads in the wild and most people dont seem to know it exists. Yet just here on hn ive seen a dozen or more x links today.
- gumballindie 3y agoI dont see it in the wild either, but then again i dont have many friends using tiktok or instagram either. The 100 mil user mark, even if only a small percentage is active is still large. And personally i’d prefer a “quiet” platform - one without politics, without scaremongering, just people sharing cool stuff (not necessarily tech) and having civil conversations about anything but politics. Edit: Oh god ive opened the app and it’s full of pro palestine news (my comment is not about the topic itself but the presence of a huge number of news about it) mixed with random junk. Why have I done this.
- recursivecaveat 3y agoI would recommend you try giving mastodon at least a shot. What I like about it is you can join a server for a specific topic, browse it, and it will be 95% chill posts about the topic.
- gumballindie 3y agoI tried mastodon but it seems to be on the other extreme - too quiet. Perhaps i should look for more servers.
