Threads have been gaining traction recently and I’m actually enjoying the atmosphere there. However it’s clearly on a growth phase where they don’t show any ads or paid content. This obviously won’t last, so I’m wondering if there’s a platform which I could recommend?

I tried Mastodon a couple of years ago but it felt a bit too technical even for me, so I’m a bit hesitant to explore that. Thanks for any input and my apologies if this has been asked too many times already.

Bluesky is privately owned, so I don’t see how it solves anything. And I don’t want to limit my feeds to include only technically skilled people, does that make any sense?

FYI check out pixelfed. Here's a preview: https://pixelfed.social/web/explore

It's basically a replacement for Insta rather than Threads, but the upside is it tends to be less technical. Also iirc it includes all the image posts from Mastodon. If you create an account, click on "Global Feed" and start following individuals and hashtags.
