> threads has been moving at a glacial pace and I'm way out ahead of any thing they've indicated even thinking about
I'm not so certain that's an accurate statement. Threads launched only 5 months ago, and they've made some fairly large progress on things users have requested the most, and there's a number of things that are currently being tested in certain parts of the world (ex: trends).
It'll be interesting to see if they can continue that pace into the new year.
Personally, I just want to see a lists and bookmarks feature, which they've confirmed is in the works.
> Well Threads currently doesn’t even have a chronological, non-algo feed I can look at, whereas on bluesky you can have any number of feeds with whatever algo/logic you want.
None of that matters if the people you follow are on Threads but aren’t on Bluesky. And if the people you follow can’t get on Bluesky even if they wanted to, then off to Threads they will go and so everybody else will follow.
Take decade to learn threads? Then expect other devs to do the same? I think that proves the point that threads aren't a good fit, even if we are technically capable of it.
FWIW, the experience is completely different than it was during the gold rush. Even the algorithmic feed is surprisingly good once you mute a few morons.
Threads are quite successful in the real world. I think it's because the alternatives are either harder, less capable, less scalable, or even more of a footgun.
I think you would love Trio and applying the idea to threads.
