\nThreads doesn\u2019t deserve my FOMO, but here we are<\/br>

Be still, my heart. No matter how much FOMO you feel, do not burden me with another social network.<\/p>\n

Yet, resisting the latest fad app is proving tougher than I thought. Meta (a.k.a. Facebook) is being uncharacteristically smooth<\/a> in its launch strategy for Threads<\/a>, the millionth Twitter clone and current number-one app in Apple\u2019s app store.<\/p>\n

Already, the ad giant is weaving Threads marketing into Instagram. On the notifications screen where I normally see dopamine-inducing likes, Instagram says, \u201c____, ____ and 1 other posted on Threads for the first time.\u201d [cue: that meme of Arthur\u2019s Fist<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Are we not tired of this? Haven\u2019t we, the terminally online, complained about Twitter for years? Do we need a more boring version of the app? As I ask myself these questions, I can hear the buzz. Folks in my orbit really are talking about Threads.<\/p>\n

On my way to see an allergist yesterday, I scanned the radio and heard a DJ mention the app on air. They said something like, \u201cEveryone\u2019s joining Threads. It\u2019s like the first day of school over there and everyone\u2019s showing off their best jokes. But if you ever want to delete your Threads account, you\u2019ll also have to delete your Instagram<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, as my co-workers dished in Slack, resident social expert Natalie Christman emerged to say that us reporters can share our Threads usernames with her if we\u2019d like to be tagged on the app. In a separate friend-group Slack, Threads came up several times. I tuned it out at first, but in writing this post, I returned to see what they said. \u201cShould I sign up for Threads for the inevitable $2 class action settlement,\u201d one friend joked.<\/p>\n

I have funny friends. Is \u201c@harri\u201d available? No, be strong.<\/em><\/p>\n

At a rehearsal later (I\u2019m in a band<\/a>), our bassist said she joined Threads and is racking up followers. Our singer said she wouldn\u2019t join because she is \u201cbecoming a boomer.\u201d I chirped that I would never \u2014 then I encouraged our bassist to make the band a Threads.<\/p>\n

Inside, I started bargaining. It wouldn\u2019t be the worst thing if I joined. If history repeats itself, I\u2019ll fall off with everyone else in a few weeks.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have much to lose nor gain. Threads isn\u2019t breaking new ground, and it seems like a privacy nightmare<\/a> next to the other Twitter clone, Bluesky. But after giving the latter service a fair shot, I think it\u2019s safe to say the new-app smell has faded.<\/p>\n

I still use Twitter for now, to my own displeasure. As for the other Twitter clones: I wonder how many people remember their names.<\/p>\n

If Facebook has a long-term hit on its hands, then kudos<\/a>. Somehow, I just don\u2019t see the hype lasting for any Twitter clone, no matter who makes it.<\/p>\n

Tell me, Threads users, am I missing out on something? Isn\u2019t Facebook too prudish<\/a> to give Twitter a run for its money? If I could just peek at your screen a little\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
