Threads is testing topic feeds that will actually be in chronological order, for once

Threads is testing a “new way to create dedicated feeds for your favorite topics and profiles,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on the Twitter clone today.

A Threads spokesperson told The Verge custom feeds would contain a combination of posts from profiles and topics you select.

It sounds like Facebook groups for people who no longer use Facebook. Unlike the default “For You” part of Threads, which is getting ads next year, these feeds would be displayed in reverse chronological order. You can’t make these feeds the default.

Currently the feature is available to only a small number of people but will be rolling out to the rest of us “soon.”

Amazon to lay off thousands more office workers on path to 30,000 cuts

Amazon plans to axe thousands of corporate workers next week, after laying off 14,000 back in October, according to Reuters. The new cuts could be “roughly the same” number as last time and may hit Amazon Web Services, retail, Prime Video, and human resources, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.

The company plans to cut a total of 30,000 corporate positions as part of an effort to “streamline operations and reset its culture,” Business Insider reported separately, noting comments from CEO Andy Jassy, who said the earlier layoffs were “about culture” rather than AI-related cost cutting.
