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.

    Because the steps for Xitter were :

    1. Want a Xitter
    2. Go to Xitter
    3. Create an account
    4. Enjoy(?) Xitter

    Even one extra step that adds friction can lead to you just not doing the thing.
