Long story short, Meta’s supposed “Twitter-killer” still lacks a few bullets in the barrel.

That’s right. Threads doesn’t evenme to search for posts using keywords. So if I’m churning out a piece of breaking news and need to know the word on the metaphorical ground, I can pretty much kiss my performance bonus goodbye if I had to rely solely on Threads.

I’m sorry, I didn’t know 2000s memes were back in style. Scrolling through Threads gave me a deluge of random posts from accounts I haven’t even heard of, much less followed. No really, the only thing that comes to mind is Threads’ baffling feature where a user’s Instagram profile also gets deleted, should he decide to delete his Threads account.Trying to slide into someone’s DMs? Well, good luck because Threads does not have a Direct Message feature, so you can’t privately message anyone.
