I’d say the introduction of ‘threads’ is kinda messing with my flow this week…like I don’t even know what to do anymore, anywhere. In adulthood, I’ve mostly been like this ‘wait and see’ kinda guy, where I hedge my bets and put a hand in anything I think is interesting or has promise…but this new stuff with threads has me kinda like…’uh, what do I do now?’
My IG account isn’t a typical IG account. I’ve been using it more like a blog than I have a picture showcase, so the growth I’ve experienced here is probably atypical. But it makes me think…what am I supposed to do on Threads?
I’ve seen a handful of people on Twitter making these grand announcements about leaving the platform in favor of threads, but…it’s like…isn’t it pretty much the same shit? I mean, you don’t like Elon, I get that….but…you’re gonna go and hand over your hard work to Zuck…as if he’s any better? I dunno. The mental gymnastics some of us are hopping through is perplexing…
That being said, I’ve gotten more follows on Threads in like 5 days that I have in 10+ years on Twitter, which, I suppose, is kinda easy when they're all connected…so…I dunno. Maybe Zuck just knows social and Elon just knows engineering. Who knows. But…it really is just like another twitter, isn’t it? Maybe a bit more IG friendly, but it’s all just text and pictures anyway, right?
I guess…maybe I’ll just start doing some threads, huh? What do y’all think about moving from pics to text?
