💬 Final Word

Hey all,

Let’s talk about the hot new social app Threads for a second.

How do I feel about Threads?

So far, I love it.

It’s less about authority, positioning, and “showing off” compared to Twitter.

In fact, I was surprised when I got called out a couple times for it.

I’m used to Twitter, where that’s acceptable and even expected.

But on Threads? That’s not OK.

Each social app has its own unique culture and Threads seem more… chill.

I’m writing more from my heart, less posturing, and more real talk.

So, if you’re on Threads - come find me here.

Thank you all and see you next week.
