Tried both T2 and Threads over the past week and they have just so very different vibes …

On T2, as soon as I introduced myself, there were people saying hello.

On Threads … crickets 😛

I wasn’t following anybody (or at least many people) on either platform at that point.

The interesting thing is, on Threads there are a lot of people interacting if you are a celeb — but it appears to be transactional. Not a lot of actual conversations.

But, Threads also has the numbers and so there are a lot more people to find for a particular field/subject — iOS/Swift devs, for example 🙂 On the other hand, it’s not easy to find anybody since there is no search except for search by name …

Overall though, Threads doesn’t have the public square feel that they say they want to foster. It feels more like a very crowded mall where everybody wants something but aren’t really interested in those around them …

#Threads #T2 #SocialNetworks #Conversations

@f a very aggressive mall with all those people who loudly shout at you with their wares whether you're interested in them or not and you can't find your friends anywhere.

@f The lack of an iPhone App on T2 feels like a dealbreaker though.
