I mean, to be honest, I feel like it's the quality of the content in there. I used my old phone (the one I use for apps like threads) to get a threads account and people are using Threads as if they're using instagram.

For example, you see a pocture of someone or a drawing, you get into the post to see the 45 comments people left and all of them are:

Comment #1: "Magnificent ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜" #2: "Amazing ๐Ÿคฉ" #3: "WOW!! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ"

And so on.

At least in twitter there is more "discussion" (albeit toxic and usually useless) or at least more people sometimes talking about interesting things.

I guess it turns out that when you pretty much automatically port over so the Instagram users they treat it like Instagram.
