I tried threads but had to leave it so quickly. All the posts I see are just baits, people trying to say controversial/stupid things just to seek attention and reaction. I don't know much about social media algorithms, but if the result is that I'm constantly fed with things I don't want to see, maybe it's not the platform I want to be in.
Previously I could understand people coming to a different conclusion on the personal ROI of social media than me. Maybe they were getting some benefit that outweighed its clear cost.
However, after seeing a friend’s feed it is all just a AI slop feed trough for Boomers. There is no longer even a facsimile of social connection in a contrived digital form. Its just rot top to bottom.
You can block all their content, just delete your account.

You can block Meta surprisingly: just never join or close the current account.
It seems like it's constant provocative news every time Meta hits the Front page. Lol

you cant block the AI, but if you start hatebanging it, i assume it will block you.

Desperation at the highest levels.
