From Tim Carmody on Threads:

I think Threads is picking up steam not least because it’s a social network with so they say) a ton of numbers. I still don’t feel great about handing Meta the keys to my public life (I have private FB and Insta accounts for people close to me). And the communities on Bluesky and Mastodon feel (in very different ways) more like my people. But I’ll keep exploring it here, keep connecting, watch it change and grow.

This, as an addition to Can We Really Fix the Internet?, explains why I think not much will change going forward. Tim Carmody wants a different, more open Web centred around blogs. And yet Threads is a viable option because that’s where most people are. Like I said, it’s convenience that lures people in, not doing the right thing.
