#2Follower feed is said by the head of Instagram (and I guess thus the head of Threads) to be coming eventually. There doesn't seem like much to do but wait.

Or you could use other platforms, you know.

#4I'd link to the Paris Hilton tweet where she wrote "If you're not having fun, then just leave.", but alas ...

#5This is a fools errand. Stop using it for a week. The product is a literal MVP right now and lots of stuff is in the pipeline. You’re spinning your wheels on this when shortly you’ll be able to see a different timeline.

#6Muting like this is in my opinion dumb. Just move on, you don’t need to ‘purge’ their ability to reach your eyes. Threads is brand new, and the home feed is not meant to be only people you follow as of now.

Why not? Why shouldn't I? I don't get it

I remember when she first entered news headlines with the "Paris Hilton Sex Tape". Couldn't give a stuff so never read it, but for years I assumed this was some important business person or world leader who had been discovered having some illicit affair in a hotel in France.

#9I feel like Twitter has gotten worse for this lately too: I've had to use the mute button much more frequently than I used to. In the past, Twitter's feed was almost too smart/focused, and kept giving you basically only the same subjects and content over and over again.
Now day's it's broadened what you see, but also keeps giving random (and sometimes, offensive) nonsense that I have to mute.
It also doesn't seem to learn from mutes very well: shouldn't mute not only mean "I don't want to see tweets from this account", but also "I'm not interested in Tweets on this subject"?
Similar issue with Spotify. I feel like it used to be better at finding me NEW tracks based on what I'd liked in the past. But now it just mostly wants to play the same things I've listened to before, over and over?

#10Already deleted Threads… just a bunch of celebrity promoted garbage. Cannot search or sort by hashtags… just a stream of corporate promoted nonsense mixed with ads. Not sure I where this app fits in with Instagram and Facebook already overlapping.
