Threads have been gaining traction recently and I’m actually enjoying the atmosphere there. However it’s clearly on a growth phase where they don’t show any ads or paid content. This obviously won’t last, so I’m wondering if there’s a platform which I could recommend?
I tried Mastodon a couple of years ago but it felt a bit too technical even for me, so I’m a bit hesitant to explore that. Thanks for any input and my apologies if this has been asked too many times already.


Especially when that extra step is something that doesn’t make sense in their mental model of what a service is or how it works. Like, I want an account. I go to site. Sign up, right? Nope, you have to select where to sign up. What? It’s a huge hurdle.
