I signed up but not gonna use it because it’s just twitter with less content
Yes, but they have meaningful verification (apparently), while Twitter doesn't.

#12Not having a news feed with just people I follow makes it near unusable. At the moment there is just too much garbage content from "influencers" cluttering the app, and very little you can do to curate it.
Apparently it’s coming https://www.threads.net/t/CuVlg88I84C/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA...

It's no worse than obsessively refreshing Hacker News on your PinePhone.

#14Odd UI on mobile. Can’t navigate to the homepage. The logo toggles darkmode. When I went directly to threads.net the only content is a link to the app store. No way for a web user to browse content.

#15Oh cool a twitter knockoff, that’s a new idea.

#17App required = not so sure about this.. not in a rush to try it out.
My thoughts too. I don’t need more apps

It looks like threads are indexable at least, unlike Twitter (lol). Try a few "site:threads.net" searches on Google.

#19So far it kind of sucks, scrolls really clunky and my feed is 100% people i don’t follow since there’s so few people posting this early. I imagine that may improve but up until this week I was a heavy twitter used and I won’t spend 5 minutes on this terrible “curated” feed.

that was the reaction from more than a few friends and family I mentioned it to.
