Feeling a little lost suddenly. It's so weird. I'm simultaneously anxious, chill and uncaring at the same time. So I went on Threads hoping for a different kind of distraction. I don't even tweet so using Twitter's new rival app feels unnatural to me. I do have Twitter, but I don't usually post; I mainly use it to catch up on news or to check if the internet is down.
So I get on Threads and the first thing that comes to mind is, who are these people? Lol. I wasn't following anybody so I was kind of surprised to see posts from all these people, celebrities and other accounts I don't know. My Twitter usually opens up to the account of a radio station that I used to like.
I try to make a post just to check the controls so I tried to share a post from Instagram to Threads and-
Lol
- Instagram doesn't even have a button to quickly share posts on Threads! Hahaha!
Is it a glitch? Do I need to update my Instagram app or something? Or did they really just forget? That's funny!
Should I start following utility companies on this app? News companies? Why am I here? Reading one article on it it seems like your post can only be found depending on the algorithm. No hashtag. No chronological posts. I can just probably use my Threads account as a meme dump for the memes I saved on Instagram. Great! More 'storage'!
Maybe because I'm not an avid social media user but I can't see how this is supposed to be exciting. Maybe it's like hopping from one cafe to another where you're just basking in the noveltry of the new place- but it's basically just the same people, the same cliques, the same little bubbles. Maybe I'm just not getting it because I'm not part of any 'community' so I'm completely missing the migrating ant colony feeling.
