Hi Zoey. Asking from a place of ignorance, could you please explain why Threads is dogshit?

Threads is the Hot New Garbagedump by Certified Scum Of The Earth and Facebook/Meta owner Zuckerburg. It is like if twitter was even worse.

There is ONLY a For You page, meaning you can never just see the posts from your followed accounts who, yknow, you followed for the purpose of seeing their posts.You can't see those. you have to see the algorithm's posts ONLY. You also require an instagram to get full access to all the features like Posting Images. You need a separate social media account to properly access this new social media. And once you've done so, the only way to delete your Threads account, is to delete you instagram account. The Whole Thing. For Some Fucking Reason. Not to mention, obviously since it's zuckerburg, the thing syphons your personal information like crazy, worse still than twitter.

Like ALL your data. as much as it can get. (Love that it says "Other Data" btw. Nice subtle way of saying "whatever else we want") ALSO wouldn't you know it? It's fucking banned in the EU because it violates a bunch of fucking privacy laws!! So it's DEFINITELY not safe to use!

It is as predatory and exploitative as can be, created by someone that we collectively agreed Sucks Shit and Has No Empathy For Human Life and Individuality, and nobody should be touching it with a ten foot pole let alone sign up for it. Not even to test the waters or because it's where everyone is heading, or to see how bad it is for yourself. It doesn't matter if you're joining to get an account ready in case the platform ends up the new big thing. You're feeding the statistics. Even if you're not using that account, Zuckerburg can show the number of signups to shareholders and investors to prove to them that it's viable. Instead of jumping on the bandwagon in case it succeeds, inform people why they shouldn't join, to reduce its chance of success! It's like strikes and protests; The more of us get the word out, the more effective it'll be!

Please do your research and don’t blindly follow trends.

me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish

people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.

this heavily extends to tagging crucial things like "flashing," "flickering," and even "strobing"!

please dont tag flashing (or any of the above) as 'fl*shing,' 'fl4sh1ng,' 'flashing /' or 'flashing tw' or any variant of! just tag it as 'flashing'!

By editing crucial tags like above ^ filters will not reliably blacklist gifsets/videos/images that can cause photosensitive individuals serious harm.

you never know who of your followers is epileptic or photosensitive, please do us the kindness of letting us curate our online experiences :,3

if anyone’s curious, i actually have finished the story of tears of the kingdom a while back. i’d like to write a little review of it sometime soon.and honestly i miss posting here a lot, it’s just i have to work a lot for an important change for my life and i’m also partially responsible for maintaining the house 🥲 i do really want to make gifs again though...

i’m still active on @theskywaker since freelance is my main source of income at the moment. so i’d appreciate if you’d check it out

what’s yall’s opinions on that new social media thing bluesky? i was apparently offered an invite (didn’t realize i was important enough to be offered one), but i read that site is shady or something (something about AI i think, not sure. don’t know what to believe). i don’t like to suddenly jump onto brand new sites in a panic

what the…

wow maybe i’ll pass then, i don’t have time for setting up a new social media anyway. i have work to do

ah i see. that makes sense. but it also sounds like they’re not doing anything about actually removing people who post that stuff for shock value, so...

perhaps the platform is just still too new, rules haven’t really been set in stone yet, community hasn’t been established. another reason i’d rather not panic and sign up without question
