1. ★☆☆☆☆ Concerns regarding safety S.sophia. · 18 Jun 2026
   I originally came from instagram, and when I saw threads being recommended I decided to give it a try. Firstly, the thing I see most on this app is so many kids. Like, yes, the app is supposed to be 13+ but I’ve seen 10 year olds (Maybe even younger) on this app treating it as if it’s a dating app. I know they’re trying to connect to people and become friends with people online, but when they ask for a boyfriend/girlfriend in their thread, it raises a little bit of concerns. Usually, people with the right sense of mind ignore the post. Some people comment on the thread and say inappropriate th

   ings, maybe they go as far as dming them and they build a relationship. These are kids. I see nobody talking about this. The audience is obviously for teenagers, but these are literal children on here asking for a relationship at the ripe age of 10. Don’t even get me started on when they post their faces or a full body video of themselves, and then they say to dm them or “bmf”. You’re a literal child who shouldn’t even own a phone at this age. Don’t get me wrong, everyone likes making online friends. Yet, there’s some weird people online who aren’t here to make friends. They’re just trying to find something more. I saw a fully grown adult man comment on a 10 year old’s post, and he talking about some “you look sexy”. That’s so weird and gross, I have never wanted to delete an app so quick. You have a lot of fixing to do because this is disgusting and utterly inappropriate for children to be on here.
2. ★★★★★ Threads comments Redflag#1968 · 9 Jan 2026
   I’m loving being able to post replies on X. I originally got the app so I could follow top ranking Republicans and see what they were exactly posting without the rules of Twitter. I’m an independent voter and I vote for who I think wants the best for the American people. We were formed as a country that was founded on governance by the people for the people as our Constitution says. What’s happening in the Government right now is the opposite of what was intended when this country was founded and it needs to stop! The only way to do that is for the people to band together and do what must be d

   one to right the wrong that was made ASAP. We all need to write, call, and email all of our representatives and tell them what we want them to do and then hold them accountable for their actions! Trump and his appointees are decimating America and using lies, illegal tariffs, illegal border controls, and illegal military operations against American citizens and they need to be impeached immediately and then a new vote should be taken to ensure that the President is going to fix what previous President Trump has done to this country and abroad before the world joins together to eradicate the US!
3. ★☆☆☆☆ It’s the gateway to a pool of Hateful comments 🤦‍♀️ Kaylanni <3 · 8 Aug 2025
   It’s like Twitter but worse. Just don’t get this app, what I’ve seen were just endless wars over republicans and democrats. And other than that, there’s literally grown people hating on oh I dunno… someone existing who happens to be posting on this app. (Using the app normally like any other platform) Except, what the hard headed haters were mad about was simply because of their identity or sexuality. (This is just harassment at this point because the person making the post isn’t doing any harm and is just existing. As a human. Like you. And then those dumb ahh hate comments are gonna be like-

   more

   “oH, iT’s aDAm aND EvE, nOT AdAm AnD sTEve!!” Like, no Susan, not everyone in the entire world has the same beliefs as you and you shouldn’t feel so entitled to harass people for simply living their life. I’m sure what I just said could have easily made someone’s blood boil. But I don’t care because this is just simple common sense and it’s obviously not right to attack someone on the internet just because they’re DIFFERENT than you. That’s seriously no way to live. 😔🤧 Anyways, this app made me lose 70% of hope for human society. If you read this entire review, thank you. And if you’re planning to download threads completely unaware of the chaos it brings, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT AT ALL. There are also dangerous creeps on the app and I just recommend you to not download this god awful app at all. Anyways, hope this helps! 😊
4. ★★★☆☆ Government Induced Stupidity Allan_Hy · 21 Mar 2025
   One of the main benefits and blessing of the US Constitutional system is that the “inefficient” checks and balances created and inherent in the system minimizes the the abuse of power and arbitrary arbitrary decisions inherent in authoritarian governments. That system of checks and balances insures that our government is required to operate with integrity and democratically for all citizens. It is why so many, if not ALL of the Trump appointed executives who think they are “running” our government have a commonality of person abuses of power and loyalty (obsequiousness) to Trump no matter how

   more

   harmful or stupid the statement or action of or by Trump might be. We revolted from the authoritarianism of King George in 1776 and England followed our example by limiting the power of their subsequent Kings. The stupidity of a slight majority of our voters seems to have forgotten what our country’s founders learned and sacrificed to actually “Make Our Country Great.” The irony of the computer expertise of many of the wealthiest supporters of Trump makes me suspicious that the actual 2024 vote tallies in many states might have been manipulated to corruptly insure Trump’s election. As the chief Certified Idiot said about the 2000 Presidential election “it was corrupt and stolen” but the Truth may be that the year was wrong and the Stolen Election may have actually been in 2024.

   Threads is not a safe App, a very large number of scammers are using this platform, I used it for a very short period and I wish I never did. Lots of losers want to become Millionaires on the expense of women who worked so hard for their money, they think they’re so cute and that gives them the right to manipulate these older, lonely women which make them very vulnerable to these toy boys and believe in their lies and then when they lose their retirement money, hundreds of thousands they even sell their beautiful properties that’s when these losers disappear from the picture because they are d

   one with the poor woman they left her high and dry. There are all kind of scammers who pretend to be Elon Reeve Musk and they talk to you about investing money in Tesla and these guys are so good at what they’re doing that they don’t leave you alone until they convince you and you end up hypnotized after you wake up your account is over $4,000 less than before you talked to the person sometimes of you have the means you’ll lose more than that because of being greedy. Finally, I am not going to tell you if you should join this platform or not that’s up to you, but all I can tell you always stay alert if it sounds too good to you then there’s something that doesn’t add up there ask questions or the best thing to do is block the person and move on. Good luck.
6. ★☆☆☆☆ Boo ibettheynevermisshuh? · 21 Jan 2025
   Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Workplace (Meta). When Mark doesn't get his way and can't come up with the technology to rival more successful platforms, he spends hundreds of millions on super PACs to manipulate politicians who aren't as familiar with tech into believing whatever ridiculous notion he's concocted. In 2020, when his former intern created a more advanced, creative, and appealing platform, he tried to buy it, and his offer was declined. Instead of being a big boy and striving for a solution to make his platforms competitive, Mark tri

   more

   cked most of the House of Representatives members into thinking that our beloved TikTok was a threat to national security. The irony is that Mark himself has been caught selling user data multiple times, which is what he claimed the superior application was doing. This man is vile, devious, and downright pathetic; Mark thought he fooled the general public as well. Thankfully, we aren't as ignorant and blind as he'd hoped; he felt the masses would return to his platforms. We are waking up to the mass manipulation of the mega-wealthy, the politicians, and their combined efforts to pull the wool over our eyes. There was a blockbuster hit about Mark stealing ideas and technology from his roommates in college. The time is up on this man stealing, conspiring, and cheating his way to the top. - another person who’s review I strongly agreed with & wanted to comment again.
7. ★☆☆☆☆ Bound to get worse Kalamaamaama · 19 Jan 2025
   Threads never was and never will be an alternative to Twitter. Like many, I joined threads as part of the X-odus from Elon’s coup of Twitter. Not that Dorsey made it worth much in the first place. Anyhow, Threads was where many of my favorite people and orgs were moving and I moved with them. It became increasingly evident that Threads is an attempt to further capture and maintain Meta’s audience to profit from advertising. Ruled by the same shady algorithms that ruined Instagram and many a social network, Threads has now become yet another online view factory where consumers have little to no

   say in what happens with their data or what they see. It’s boring to see the same things over and over and over again. But social media giants want us to live in fantasy world echo chambers where we never encounter other worldviews. With Zuckerberg cozying up to far right politicians, it only solidifies that he is, like his troll-under-a-bridge-narcissist-brother-from-a-South-African-colonizer-mother, a grifter interested not in public discourse, but in power. Please, do not think that any social media, even the ones that say they have values, care anything about their users, much less society. Do not download threads if you are looking for an alternative venue for your text based thoughts. Instead, keep a journal or something and save yourself the time. You deserve better than Threads.
8. ★☆☆☆☆ Twitter from Wish BSD29 · 15 Jan 2025
   Threads stands as perhaps Meta’s most embarrassing attempt yet at copying competitors - a desperate “Twitter/X killer” that peaked at launch and crashed spectacularly. After boasting about 100 million sign-ups in its first week (thanks to forced Instagram integration), Threads hemorrhaged users faster than any platform in history, with engagement dropping over 80% within months. This half-baked Twitter clone represents everything wrong with Meta’s strategy: instead of innovating, they rush out inferior copies of successful platforms. Threads is essentially Instagram’s spam-filled comment secti

   more

   on stretched into a full app, complete with aggressive algorithmic manipulation and Meta’s trademark disregard for user experience. The platform’s failure is made more pathetic by Zuckerberg’s transparent attempt to capitalize on Twitter’s chaos under Musk. Yet somehow, Meta managed to create something even less engaging than post-Musk Twitter - an achievement in itself. By early 2025, Threads has become a ghost town of branded corporate accounts talking to themselves, proving that even Meta’s massive user base can’t save a fundamentally flawed product. What’s most telling is how Threads embodies Meta’s parasitic business model: rather than building something new and valuable, they attempt to leech off others’ innovations while lobbying to destroy the original creators. It’s the digital equivalent of a mall kiosk selling knockoff handbags while trying to get the authentic retailers shut down.
9. ★★★★★ “An unexpected surprise.” A worry mom.. · 19 Nov 2024
   My dear son David upgrade my Phone over the weekend. It was getting to old n I was having problems with it. So, I have been learning the new “techniques” n experimenting with it. I ran into TREAD’s so, I was able to sign into it n I’m having a ball with it!! The little histories, the games, etc. I usually don’t spend much time in the media, just time to talk with my children n a few friends n Nature. I love children, animals n flowers. They make me happy… I laugh.., sometimes cry… I wish I had the means to help so many children with needs as well as so many dogs n cats n horses.. even the mo

   st insignificant butterfly when I very carefully I was able to kind of fixed her broken wing.. So it was very interesting to know Elon a little better, to know, to learn, what a loving father he is. I want to take the opportunity to thank Mr. Musk, a BIG HUGE THANK YOU, for having taken the decision in helping dear President Donald J. Trump. What a loving boy he is, donating n dedicating so much of his busy time to the President in our behalf. For the good of this country n in a long run, for the world!! GOD BLESS HIM and his lovely family. I don’t know what would have been of this Nation if Mr. Trump would’ve been elect it. But thanks for the love, trust, wisdom n perseverance, not just of the smart people in his followers BUT for ALL the other like Elon that recognise the UNIQUE person, with that heart of gold that is Mr. D. Trump. I have been one of his must loyal followers since that famous day he n dear Mrs. Trump came down the scalates at the Trump Towers. So, finally once more, we got him into the WHITE HOUSE!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!❤️🇺🇸
10. ★★☆☆☆ Takes a bit to figure out Aidan not Aiden · 14 Oct 2024
    It took me AGES to find the following feed (the option is shown when you tap the logo on the home page). I would prefer that be default, or at least show the different feed options all the time instead of making users root around in “help” for the answers. I assumed tapping the logo would just refresh the feed like it does everywhere else. It’s not the most intuitive approach. That said, the app is a little better now that I can actually see my friends’ posts. There are still problems, though. I toggled off the political content option, but a LOT of politics from people I’m not following still

    show up in my “for you” feed. I can’t find a way to disable reposts from showing up in my following feed, even when I search the help page, which defeats the point of me being in the “following” tab—I want to see the posts of people I’m actually following, move reposts to the “for you” or something. To top it off, the let’s say “quality of users” is just as reactionary and inflammatory as those on the OTHER app, so making the switch seems largely irrelevant unless you’re concerned about the other place disappearing. But I give it an extra star because there is at least an option to get out of the general population nonsense.
