Is that because no one is using Threads?

Threads was already dead when porn was banned, that's why it's so hard for people to move from twitter.

I don't understand why people use Twitter or Reddit for porn. There are dedicated sites for that stuff.

I think people use things like Reddit for anything because Reddit has a built in system of human curation. It's not just SEO engineered garbage fake websites like basically every search engine will yield now, or sites' internal searches pushing you to their top players instead of what you're actually searching for.

Twitter used to be a good place for artists in general, not too sure about now. Never really understood reddit tho.
