Threads have been gaining traction recently and I’m actually enjoying the atmosphere there. However it’s clearly on a growth phase where they don’t show any ads or paid content. This obviously won’t last, so I’m wondering if there’s a platform which I could recommend?

I tried Mastodon a couple of years ago but it felt a bit too technical even for me, so I’m a bit hesitant to explore that. Thanks for any input and my apologies if this has been asked too many times already.

    I’m frankly mystified by anyone who thinks Mastodon is “too technical.”

    Please explain. Because the steps as far as I know are:

    1. Want a mastodon account
    2. Search for “join mastodon”
    3. Pick a server
    4. Create an account
    5. Enjoy mastodon

      Those arent the steps. There is a 6th one because you have to go find content. Whats served up by default is random and not very good compared with the algorithmic feeds of other platforms.
