I really appreciate the comparison with Google+, which I hadn't thought about in years. But it does show that an app can get off to a great start and then go into a steep decline. I'm still very undecided about Threads. If it can maintain a kind tone and remain at least semi-serious, I can see myself sticking with it. But already it's being used to share trite memes more than have good discussions and I expect it also won't take long for the tone to take a turn. And then there's the fact that I don't trust Meta the least little bit...
Threads...it’s mostly posting into a void. On Twitter I had a crew...but I shut down my account...just painful to watch. I liked Google+... but like Tim, it disappeared into oblivion in my memory. I think I’m just going to start writing letters again.

For sure. Agreed on all fronts.
