Only needed one sentence there to know all I need to. “Currently there is no way to only see people you follow.” Lol so more bullshit like Facebook and Instagram where you get friend, Ad, sponsored post, you might like this, group post, friend, Ad, Ad…
Just another way for Facebook to feed you non stop adverting in between tiny bites of content. We talk about how terrible Reddit is…I don’t understand how my wife uses Facebook at all.
I feel bad for people who will get sucked into this nonsense and enjoy the fediverse through an app that is basically malware come to life.
As far as I'm aware. No big youtuber has mentioned the fediverse in their posts or videos about threads. It's either they don't know or don't care. Unfortunately we might need to battle threads alone
Gen z and lower don't use the internet like millennials and above. My cousins and sister are all under 20 and use group chats, dischord, Snapchat and tiktok because they want connections with their groups of friends not strangers online.
My daughter is 15 and you’re exactly right. Demographic wise…who do guy think the target audience for threads is and how is meta going to stay in business if Gen Z uses NONE of their apps?
I think it's like that now cause they rushed release, given Twitter's recent issues.
As of now, there are no ads. The main feed is essentially a jumbled mess of your followers and random popular posts. They say they don't plan to monetize until it's more fleshed out, so we'll see how long that takes.
It'll happen when they capture the biggest portion of Twitter's users. As soon as that happen enshittification shall descend upon it.
I think if somebody wants that kind of content they are well served already by Reddit, Facebook etc.
Please don't go to Lemmy and try to turn it into that.
