Signed up to threads. Hit “follow all”. Saw some posts from people I know. Refreshed the home feed and it got instantly filled with posts from people I don’t know that Meta thinks I’d really like to follow.
Checked for an “only people I follow” option, unsuccessfully.
Closed threads. Opened Mastodon.
