Meta's announcement that it wants Threads to avoid politics and news may signal a larger desire on the part of Big Social Media to push politics off their platforms
I don't have Instagram, so I would have to add that, plus Threads; so I haven't done it. The other reason is that Threads apparently does not operate in Europe. That's how I can still make twitter work for me, by switching to "following" and reading all the tweets from French politicians (my field). But otherwise, with Europe trying to get more serious about disinformation, Twitter-Europe may also go.
I think the big question is when people will figure out that all social media is more trouble than it is worth--this whole period that has all of us banging around from platform to platform, wheedling invitation codes, trying to find our old follows and followers, and so on, has to be causing some people to just turn to other things that are more rewarding.
