Boost was the only thing that made it tolerable, I couldn't use the official reddit app even if I wanted to

it's true that they have shadow accounts for Instagram accounts cause threads is currently operating under Instagram, I don't know if that's factored into their 30 million user count tho

When you follow one of the shadow accounts it says something like "they'll respond when they join threads" or something

I use bitwarden - I like it a lot plus you can self-host if you don't want to trust a third party

This is such an incredible and incompetent failure for the amber alert system too though to be fair
