Starting to feel more like Old Twitter on here. Sure, Threads has the larger user base, but it just feels like Instagram without the pictures - most of what you see has nothing to do with the people you actually want to follow, and those in charge are making it clear that this is entirely by intent.

the simpsons one time did a bit where a meteor almost hit springfield and the townspeople were like, "lets burn down the observatory so this never happens again"
Vitriol is being directed at meteorologists. “I’ve been doing this for 46 years and it’s never been like this,” says Alabama meteorologist James Spann. He says he’s been “inundated” with misinformation and threatening messages like “Stop lying about the government controlling the weather or else.”
