Seeing quite a few comparisons to reddit.
As someone who went to reddit when digg shit the bed all those years ago and in turn came here after the api debacle, this is how it always goes no?
-> Social site has cool features for awhile but is unheard of
-> social site gets adopted by more tech literate people (we are here)
-> social site gets noticed by corps, receives investment and becomes able to handle more people (threads is an attempt at this and what is next)
-> social site gets adopted by millions of average joes
-> enshitification begins as social site/corporations begin to extract money
-> other social sites form from people tired of the diluted content
-> tech literate people leave for smaller social site with cool features
-> cycle continues
I'm settling in just fine here. The people can be a little more on the tankie side in some places, but it's better overall.
