Look, I don’t like Mark Zuckerberg or Meta either, but if you’re already on Instagram, what’s the excuse to switch to, or also post on, Threads? And what are you doing only on X still? Help your audience be able to hear you!
Threads may be phony because of its owners but, at least at the moment, it is the place that is most suited to us readers who mainly wish to keep up with what is happening. For me, personally, it is as if it is especially tailored and adjusted to suit my particular preferences (if you know what I mean).
I mean, you can have:
- Numerous panels visible at once.
- Those panels as feeds you curate.
- A customizable ‘For You’ algorithmic panel.
- Straightforward, little-to-no-fluff type of posts.
- Articulate, dive-deeper type of posts.
- Chronological order.
And so on.
This sort of interface is less likely to worsen your brain if you use it in your favor. The rest are akin to sugary candy overloads that mess with your energy and attention significantly more.
If you will not make posts specifically for it, at least get into the habit of duplicating your posts to drop them there too. Or shamelessly and without guilt share links, added context optional. There are vanishing posts there as well, if you'd rather they don't linger forever, so that's another feature to use. Otherwise, a lot of us will miss you.
I’m not leading by example in this case, because of reasons, but this is me speaking as a follower!
And until a better platform comes along, Threads is the one.
