I found the app to be very clean and better looking than Twitter. Around 70% of the accounts I follow on twitter are already on Threads within hours of launch. All I am waiting for is support for chronological/following view and I will jump ship.

What do you think?

They currently show basically everyone and anything. Probably until it reaches a point where there’s more users.

I don’t wanna see randoms on the timeline all the time. I would also like to search topics and stuff. But I understand that may not be what threads is for. It’s cool, definitely cleaner than twitter. But twitter is still my go to social

We can't even install it (officially) let alone use it in Europe see also this TechCrunch article.
I see Meta/Facebook is still hoarding data when checking the US App Store 'App Privacy' part:

Their head already confirmed that chronological view is coming, which is what I am waiting for before I switch from Twitter. Most of the people I follow on Twitter are already on Threads.

Nice try Mark I'm not falling for your FOMO trap. Not signing up for an Instagram account just to use Threads, and I'm not giving you my data anymore
