One of the things I’m most proud of with my blog is how consistent I’ve been about the problems with social media. It felt a bit tilting at windmills to quit Twitter in 2012. No love for Facebook, either! But now we have a framework for solutions and can judge these big companies beyond gut feeling.
Rene van Belzen I don’t think Threads will solve the widespread addiction to doomscrolling on social media. Coming from the mainstream social media, I had a hard time adjusting to the lack of bad news put into my feed. It took me months of patience, self-therapy, and paying for a moderated timeline.
Manton Reece @renevanbelzen Agreed. The algorithmic timeline in Threads encourages doomscrolling. Personally, it’s not for me.
