I'd try #BlueSky if #Mastodon failed to do what I need it to at some point, but I explicitly want a news feed with reporters and journalism and #Threads seems quite hostile to that.

Also I've heard that Threads doesn't let you follow only the posts of the people you follow, but populates them with random "algorithm" suggestions.

I think I'd rather die. Facebook and Twitter both did a version of that and if it was forced, I would have left. Renders the timeline worthless.

@JasonPerseus @mimsical I heard threads will eventually implement non-algo feeds. But they’ll probably federate around that time. I wonder if journalists should create their own activity pub instance at that point.

@JasonPerseus @mimsical If it helps, my Threads follows are loaded with reporters and, even with their algo, that’s almost exclusively what populates it. YMMV.
