"... Threads can choose an unfortunate, uncreative mix of posts. In one scroll you might see Christian prayer accounts, raunchy memes and endless thirsty brands desperate to be seen. The biggest thing you can do is follow more people. Drown out the ick with experienced creators, outlets and people you already know are going to be interesting. There’s no way to import your Twitter follows yet, but you can search manually, look through other people’s follows and see who they’ve found.... Next you want to go on a block and mute spree.... If all of this sounds like too much work, consider just waiting until the app has more features to help and a feed of who you follow. Not everyone needs to be a beta tester...."

Christian prayer accounts, raunchy memes and endless thirsty brands.... oh, no! No no no no... and you're expected to "drown out the ick" and "go on a block and mute spree."

sounds like a plan!
While this approach is exactly what has made TikTok such a success...
The TikTok approach is largely democratic- you see what others choose to see- eyeballs begat eyeballs...with Threads you''ll see what the propagandists want you to see, then they will claim those things are popular and viral! because everyone is looking at them...
The MSM is all in for Threads. Like a San Fernando Valley full-time porno set fluffer, they will give Threads as much in-kind "free head" as is necessary to get this pathetically flaccid tryhard app hard enough to serve as the echo chamber they lost.
Look at them, they're literally giving people tips on how to shape their experience like a fluffer explaining they'd have a better time blowing Thread's if they cupped the app's balls.
The joy of being cosmopolitan in your self-selected provincial enclave.
There is no reason to go to Threads and stay there save hating Elon Musk.
Hating Elon Musk is not prevalent outside of terminally online censorious journalists and other managerial class creatures.
It's noticeable that media outlets are not just *covering* the launch of Threads, they are actively encouraging people to give it a try, at the expense of suddenly evil Twitter.
Like college, social media is for girls.
Threads will promote tinfoil hat sales.
I'm so old I remember when liberals fled Twitter for Mastodon, and the existing Mastodon community went on a 'block and mute spree.'
It took me quite a while to curate my closed Twitter account, finding people to follow and figuring out who not to.
Threads requires curating? Sound like Twitter in that regard.
Commercial accounts sure seem to like Threads, and in the end it will be advertisers who decide which one can pay to keep the servers running in the long run.
Perhaps having all media questions to Twitter auto-reply with a poop emoji will win the advertisers.
