Threads has a nice selection of extremely smart, interesting people, trapped inside a short text limit and an algorithmically curated culture of adversarial outrage porn and drama. BlueSky feels a lot more adult. Threads also has a huge oversupply of fragile mediocrities who love the drama and/or haven't worked out it's a terrible medium for self-promotion, and has generated some of the most jaw-droppingly stupid takes I've ever seen online. (And I used to be on AOL...) A good few people left Threads when the censorship started to become too obvious, and a lot more will leave when the ads become too heavy-handed.
