  Threads Update 🔔🧵 For those of you who have been calling for a trending feature, we're rolling out a small test in the US to help you find timely topics people are talking about.  Today's topics on Threads will be on the search page and in the For You feed. …

  Our content specialists will review the topics selected by our AI systems to make sure they're not duplicative or confusing, but by and large, we want them to accurately represent what is actually topical on Threads.  Political trends will be eligible.  We'll learn from this test…

  So it's going to be a mix of the most banal aspects of LinkedIn and Twitter, without the politics, of course, because we can't have that.

• @timothybucksf Timothy Buck on threads

  The team is being really thoughtful about this.  Will be interesting to see how it's received.  This is clearly a feature that people want but similar features on other platforms have always gotten mountains of negative press. …

  As someone who was on Facebook's tending team before FB killed it in 2016 and immediately let fake news trend, allow me to say: lol, lmao

  This is a return to what FB tried to do with Trending Topics prior to mass ref-working and conspiratorial allegations that conservatives were being suppressed (Trending Topicsgate, circa 2016).  It's also what Twitter tried to do with its curated moments.  Let's see how it goes..…

  This post isn't making us forget that you're killing the reach of political content (just like FB has) in an extremely important election year.

• @harryjsisson Harry Sisson on threads

  This is nice, but if we can't see what's trending in news, laws, and politics, it's truly meaningless

• @daveleebbg Dave Lee on threads

  Should just hard code in “Live, Laugh, Love” as the trending topics and leave it at that

• @chris Chris Messina on threads

  It's telling that @mosseri doesn't even bother with topic tags when he shares a new Threads Update.  😑

• @bmotheprince Brian Moller on threads

  Here come Trending topics right after Drake and the Super Bowl (in wildly different ways) proved that we don't need em on @threads

• @greeblehaus Aimee Giese on threads

  Glad to see it but still think keeping “politics” out of this is a big mistake.  As a woman, my body is under attack, which makes that political.  I know you said you weren't “promoting” political accounts but everything is political.
