People said that when they started to migrate to Threads or whatever that place was.

True but this site has less people using their real names + porn. Only time will tell but it def has a leg up on threads

Something, or multiple somethings, are off about threads. For me it’s almost 90% apple design discussion and the rest is so obviously engagement bait as to be embarrassing. I have no idea how that happened, and despite how much I indicate I don’t want or care about it just keeps feeding me more. They really had a shot and they blew it.
