I'm still on the fence about that being a good thing. I'm kind of looking forward to being able to see Twitter style content from major companies but without ads via my Mastodon account.

that's the thing, I see all content from major companies as ads.

Right after I logged into Threads, with a new account, by first 2 pages were posts from Zuck, Wendy’s, Netflix, a Facebook fanboy, and another Wendy’s ad. I tried to screen shot it, but the shit app realized I was idle, and used that as an opportunity to refresh the content.

30 million people jumped into this stupid thing this AM.

It detects if you're idle and refreshes the page?

That's some horrible attention hacking bullshit.

I'm 100% going to find another instance if I see any content from that nightmare. I'm not on Twitter, or Facebook, for a reason.

Or it’s just a bug
