If you don't like the vibe of Instagram and Facebook makes your eyes bleed Threads is going to be your wonderland

FB already gives me a headache if I try to look at it. This is literally the poisonous core of the WORST part of FB and no way to evade it or hide in a corner. Horrible!

@_L1vY_ @ianlivingston @ai6yr This was one of my big beefs about Twitter, even before Elmo took over. Tweets from some of my favorite people would show up 10 to 20 hours late in my timeline, if they showed up at all. What good is that? And why call it a timeline? It was a randomline.

I always used chronological view, but boy did it relentlessly try to push us to the algorithmed view as the default.

@_L1vY_ @ianlivingston @ai6yr Interesting. I must have missed the memo. Never heard of control over the timeline.

Until Elmo came along, I'd been an avid Twitter user from the beginning, when we tweeted via SMS from a flip-phone. In other words, back when Twitter was really interesting, useful, and exciting.

I started in 2008. The thing is I always used browser, never an app. So even once they started algorithming the timeline, there has always been a chronological option. Even now! But yes even so, it tries to switch you to the algorithm tab ("For You," formerly known as "Back to Home") all the time.
