I've been thinking about where Threads fits into my whole digital diet and the answer I came to was shockingly similar to yours. If it's for pictures of 24 hour only stories, I have Instagram. If it's for following niche creators or having a space away from friends and family, it's Bluesky (and formerly Reddit). Threads I find fills that niche of where I just express myself in text form with the intention of it to be seen by both friends and family - exactly what I used to use Facebook for years ago.

I need another social network like I need another hole in my head. No thanks.

Threads is getting way too much promotion tbh. Are we just gonna ignore that Meta/ Facebook are not to be trusted? This is just another way for them to get their hands on your personal info and probably another bid to eventually drag you into their ecosystem and god forbid, the metaverse.

If you want a censored echo chamber, you use Threads.

Two things I find with Threads, one is it has Facebook's interesting censoring aka "are you sure you wish to follow this person". The second is it is a separate mobile only app. For most people this probably isn't that big of a deal, but I don't use my phone when I'm on my laptop and don't really consume content on my phone. I could run the app in an emulator, but honestly, I'm not going to do that, other than for business reasons.

3rd party apps will never be over! Im still using one and it is the only way I will use twitter on my phone. Screw the main app. Also threads is great I love it.

Having recently deleted my FB and IG, I have 0 interest in another Meta product. I understand how social media can work really well for small businesses these days, but there are way too many ads on these platforms. I met a lot of really cool people who were into photography when Instagram first came out, and as soon as Facebook bought them it when down hill. More about making lots of money then the actual community. Thread is just another platform for them to make a lot of money, not about bringing people together. Meta stops people from being creative and coming up with unique ideas for apps as they will just copy it and make it their own. I have more to say but it's already getting too long. 😂

I did used the old Threads app and found it redundant too.

Threads feels like it is just an extension of Instagram. I am sure there will be more features over time, but as of now it's heavy on the corporate and influencer focus. Compared to Twitter where the focus was more on people and ideas, as dumb or smart as those ideas or people may be. The only way Threads felt usable was after I spent a solid 10 minutes just blocking and muting accounts. Hopefully they launch more feature to be able to customize your feed. I still use twitter more than threads for that reason. Much easier access to information and trends.

Thread doesn't allow nudity and NFSW. Thats a major red flag... Twitter is more open platform on so many ways. Even though i hate using Twitter now.

i would still lie to see direct messaging implemented on the threads app and i don't want another app like fb messenger i want it in the same app. but not Shure if they would do this as it would conflict with messenger. and could cause further trouble with twitter

can't get threads. still not allowed in the e.u

How i use social media: 1. Twitter: post complaints to bigger companies and get quick support. 2. Facebook: to buy second hand things. 3. Instagram: to flex and see my friends flexing. 4. Linked in: to post my work achievements, and see how others are progressing in their career. 5. KZread: to get informed. 6. Tiktok: to lough and pause being serious for a minute. If thread wants to replace twitter: it must do what twitter is doing, otherwise it is another instagram.

But how is Threads different than Google+? Or any number of other social networks that went viral and then fell back into the niche world?

The problem with threads is that they don't have the accessibility features that Twitter does. Threads would be so much better if it was more accessible. But that's typical of Meta / Facebook.
