    I could see myself using Threads regularly if my feed was only the people I follow. But right now it’s ALL random people I don’t care and there’s no way to put my interest in the app so seems useless for me right now

      I've been able to combat it somewhat by blocking/muting anything I don't care about. It seems the algorithm learns what I don't wanna see and shows me more of my friends. Though I think it's also an issue of people not posting as much yet. Once the ball really is rolling im sure feeds will only get better. I have high hopes for this app! :D

    One of the first things I did was to look at Threads "community guidelines" and I had to chuckle. It's no different than any other major social media platform all of which emphasize civility. Social media platforms are intended for the emotionally weak-minded. Heaven forbid anyone say anything that might "offend" someone else. And it makes no difference if what was originally said was in fact factual or true. I was banned from both Twitter and Facebook for criticizing faith-based beliefs even though there wasn't one thing I stated that was untrue. The very fact I criticized made me into a pariah because someone was so emotionally fragile any criticism of their beliefs violated community guidelines of intolerance. Americans in particular have become overly emotional and fragile. Don't say anything that might offend someone especially when the subject is religion, something of which there is absolutely NO evidence as the basis of their beliefs other than they want to believe. Belief does not make something true/factual. If social media can't tolerate sharing truths and facts than it plays no valuable role in communicating useful information. Information that people should have in making smart decisions about their own lives, community, state and nation. For example, look at the chaos that has resulted over the past 30 yrs of American politics ever since southern conservative evangelicals took over Congress in the 1990s. Oddly, it's OK to criticize politics and politicians but it's NOT OK to criticize an area of human beliefs that has little to no evidence to support such beliefs. Go figure. If social media can't be used to convey facts and truths and used for mere opinion, gossip and conspiracies, what good is it to a nation?
