one of the reasons I find myself (reluctantly) popping in and out of the Threads app through the day

the app is buttery smooth, communities are a really great feature, and there's constantly new things being rolled out and tested

wild if they did this without working with Apple, can't imagine staking an OS-level feature on a hack

focus mode: “tiktok is paused right now”

also focus mode: “use app for 5 minutes?”

I am weak willed

give me the option to tap out and I absolutely will, every time

decentralization has to stay front and center, the threads-fediverse integration for example already feels like tech debt waiting to be sunset once maintenance outweighs the value

building on and for the open web is the only real path to long-term sustainability
