(Not so)Social Media

So the Metaverse have sprung a spoke into Twitter’s ever deterioating Musk scented world with their new social media platform Threads. It looks like a mash between Instagram and Twitter with a fresh feel and rays of hope from expectant threaders. What can it actually add to our worlds though? Creatives try and expand their own personal orbits through social media platforms but is there really any point? Not in Twitter, except for expressing opinions into an empty chamber. Not in Facebook, to your groups of friends. Not in Instagram as its really a casul, beautiful visual experience. Not in Tik Tok which is super scary unless you break through the barriers of the alogrhythm to develop your own feeds. Not in You Tube, unlss you have the time and budget for cinema class productions.

So maybe Threads will open up new unforseen worlds. Or maybe I’ll just pop down to my local park and catch up with some mates, play games, read, laugh together, play music, go for a swim, head to the gym, find a country pub, lie back in a wild flower meadow and think of England (pre Brexit).

Anyway lets see what happens – check out my Threads profile @purplejaguar23
