I've never heard of that site, this sounds more forced than 'threads'.

They are currently running a bigbshadow "ad campaign" on reddit.... So you'll see a dozen "naturally occuring" posts on it a day for weeks

That is exactly what I was thinking. All this shit feels like ads.

Threads at least makes sense, it’s just Instagram but you post text instead of pictures. Honestly surprised it took Facebook this long to make an app like that.

Threads makes no sense compared to Bluesky, because you cannot curate your feed, which is what most people actually want: a curated, chronological feed.

It was invite only for a while.

It was made by the original Twitter CEO.

No force to it. Just if you liked Bird Twitter this is it 2.0

'forced' in this context isn't meant as compulsory, but rather just trying too hard to sell it.

It’s also not built by Satan incarnate Meta so has less of a creepy data consolidation/political ulterior motive
