Meta's Threads experience seems horrible (internettalk.substack.com)

I haven't used threads and I never will, but it's nice to see that it's not a great user experience even for people who are used to meta.

That looks terrible, but I will note (though they are confined to communities) I have a similar growing blocklist on Lemmy. It seems every day I find a new meme or "let's all complain about Reddit" community to block.

I'm here for OC and interesting discussion, but I keep stumbling over low effort posts throughout my feed.

There is a lot of low effort posts right now, yeah. I think people are not sure if users will stay and therefore kind of chitchat a lot right now instead of using it for real knowledge sharing.

honestly a lot better then reddit, I didn't care about the api fiasco but after the blackout it felt like everything drooped in quality so quickly and that's why I came here
