It's just Instagram without images. It'll be influencers and meme accounts, for better or worse.

For better. 90% of Twitter's and Facebook's toxicity comes from political disputes.

I haven't seen that kind of toxicity in instagram, only the "look at my perfect life" toxicity, which isn't as bad. At least they are cool pics.

If I had to pick my poison, I'd pick Threads and Instagram. Thankfully, I don't have to.

Yeah I view it as negative but closer to neutral. Hopefully the "look at my perfect life" posts are understood as being fake or requiring inheriting great wealth by now.
