Well Threads currently doesn’t even have a chronological, non-algo feed I can look at, whereas on bluesky you can have any number of feeds with whatever algo/logic you want. I don’t think I’ll be using Threads much while the one and only feed is the way it is.
And there’s more differences than just that, it’s a bit too soon to do a declaration of death I think

None of that matters if the people you follow are on Threads but aren’t on Bluesky. And if the people you follow can’t get on Bluesky even if they wanted to, then off to Threads they will go and so everybody else will follow.
People being on Threads doesn't matter if Threads sucks. They'll all just go back to Twitter to wait for the Next Social Media.
>"looking at my Twitter feed is a breath of fresh air after spending 24 hours on Threads. My feed over there is just full of stuff I don’t want to see. Threads just hit 50 million users, but the top complaint is the feed which is the main part of the app"
But there's a key difference: If your friends aren't on Bluesky yet, it's quite possibly because they haven't gotten an invite code yet. Plenty of people are very interested and waiting to join. I've been inviting friends as I've received codes. It is an entirely different dynamic than just an unpopular social network, and it is perceived very differently (and not at all negatively).
We've been through this process once before with google+. It was the new SoMe which "everyone" wanted access to, but they nerfed their own growth with their invite system.
Sure, it chugged on for a few years, until it was inevitably killed-by-google.
You can customize feeds but there's barely any real content getting posted because the user base is so small. Some people with hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter barely get any kind of engagement on Blue Sky. The dopamine hit just isn't showing up for big time posters.
