Twitter is a bunch of journalists snarking about the news. Seems like threads is a bunch of Instagram celebrities using a 2nd medium for brand management. It seems like people are only there in case it takes off and that’s not going to be interesting conversation.

If you dismiss Twitter so easily, it’s clear you don’t have much to add. It is (was?) a lot more than “journalists snarking about the news”. Customer service, influencers, sports fans arguing, companies microblogging, bots giving updates, comedians, musicians - these are just a few things I can think of that were on Twitter.

That's what Google+ was, too. People who already had online communities on four websites temporarily added a fifth to hedge their bets until it was clear that G+ was not destined for greatness.

I think you'll find that there are a large number of normies on Twitter, if you look under the hood.

you dont even need to look under the hood, you just need to know a handful of normies
