Ep 199 | Why I’m NOT Jumping on the THREADS Bandwagon – and 3 Questions to Answer Before You Do
Hey Winner,
A shiny new social media platform is out, and it can be tempting to jump on the bandwagon. We want to get a head start, after all, before millions of users are inside to get the best reach and the most out of the platform, right? This could be our big break, after all!
I’ll be honest… when I first heard about threads and had it explained to me, I initially thought, huh, this could be a fun outlet to try. It seems like it won’t be inundated with ads or a bunch of content I don’t want to see. But then I took a step back and thought about it some more and realized it’s just not the place for me to be right now for various reasons. Let’s explore those today, and you can make your own decisions about if you’re going to hop on Threads or not.
You’ll want to stay to the end because we’ll walk through 3 important questions to ask yourself before you dive into a new social media platform.

3 Questions to ask yourself before jumping into threads:
(maybe sit with your journal on these and take some time to pray about it):
- How much time am I already spending on social media? Will this increase that time?
- What purpose would this platform serve in my life? Will it add value to it or take away from my larger calling?
- Is another social media platform a part of my priorities right now? Will it lead me closer to my goals or distract me from obtaining them?
