My threads feed is pretty bad. There's no way to see posts only from accounts you follow. Somehow meta has determined that I'm very interested in baseball, basketball and MMA even though I'm not American and I have little interest in any sports other than motorsports. There's no way to tell it "show me less/no content on this topic". So I'm kind of trapped looking at stuff I just don't care about.

It is too soon to tell but my intuition here is that this platform is primarily going to be driven by bluecheckmarks and influencers. And it is in Meta's interest to display that as the main feed. If and when the people we actually follow start posting, they might add a follower tab

My guess is this platform will primarily be driven by AI bots.

Yes, the age of public anonymous social media is ending.

Isn’t there a mute or hide option ?

Muting individual accounts is not useful when there are hundreds of accounts with baseball crap.
