I hate twitter, but do like a lot of individual users. There are a lot of good political commentators and artists who use it. If they move to threads, I'll follow them on threads. To paraphrase what someone once said about reddit: "I don't care about the platform, I'm just a content sponge. If the content creators move, I'll move."
I'll end up on twitter if someone else links to something of interest. Or a google search result directs me there. That's about the only time I'll use it.
See....this is why Google+ needed to become a thing and actually popular so we wouldn't have to choose between Zuck and Musk.
/me collapses into a fetal position in a corner and cries.
I used Google+ and liked it a lot... except their initial anti-pseudonym policy was odious, and alienated nearly everyone that I wanted to be on a social media platform with (Mostly SL folks / LGBTQ+ folks / Geek culture types and and long time PC Gamer friends).
And it was a sour pill for me too, because 'Jopsy' isn't my 'real' name despite it being more unique and 'real' to me where it counts. And I didn't want some argument online with someone to get me reported for violating their name policy, and result in getting my linked gmail account locked or shutdown.
They relented and changed their policy to be pseudonym tolerant, but it was way too little way too late. They'd already shown they didn't really get what the users really wanted, and 'fixing' it later wasn't building confidence. They also never really figured out how to monetize it. Given Google's history of abandoning experiments the moment they start seeming useful, but not profitable... made google+ feel like a dead shopping mall that never really fully opened.
