Google login does not give you a social graph.

Does instagram give you the right social graph for a twitter replacement though? It seems to me that you want to follow pretty different kinds of people on different forms of social media.

It sure beats having to bootstrap one, would be my hunch.

Even just having a few people automatically followed can make a difference, even if most people diverge quickly after joining.

Hmm, not for me. I’m a pretty casual IG user, but I am following 500+ accounts, all of which I enjoy. My first experience with Threads (despite importing my IG profile) was a feed full of accounts I had never heard of before, and almost nothing from the accounts I follow. Granted, that’s probably because the accounts I follow weren’t posting Threads yet, but but even now things haven’t changed much in that regard.

Additionally, 90+% of my Threads feed is photos, so, like, what’s the point?

I’ve opened it a couple of times and scrolled for maybe 30 seconds and lost interest.

I’m sure if I put a little effort into it I could find more interesting accounts to follow, but at least in my experience the “bootstrapping” hasn’t really worked.

Plenty of good developer-focused content now, and they implemented a following-only feed. Worth having, for me so far.

Curious about this: any developers focused account you’d recommend?
