I didn't even think about the porn aspect. You're probably right. Although I'm sure people are going to test it and see how close Meta will let them get.

I can see it for those types of accounts. The National Weather Service for example doesn't want to deal with random tweet limits and pricing changes and all that. All they need is a stable platform that is popular. If Threads can give them that, I can see it taking off. Already it seems to have more hype and activity than any other alternative in the last few months.

That would probably be smart.

Its happening with every new Twitter replacement. Twitter for all its faults was actually a widely used resource for brands, companies and influencers. Now that it is so erratic they're all trying to jump on anything with a hint of success to replace Twitter.

I think the fact you said you don't care about moderation issues kind of shows the disconnect. On reddit, karma was a crucial way to moderate. I think something similar is a good idea for federated replacements.

I was going to join just to reserve my handle, but then I saw you can't even make a purely chronological feed of just accounts you follow. That is base level functionality for me and all I really want in a Twitter replacement. I'll give it some time.

People don't care about principles when it comes to a social media site (or really anything for that matter). They want something easy to use, that everyone is on.
