Threads never died early like that. Ever. The archives lie you can simply go check on Warosu.
/swarm/ quality dropped a lot around the time of the first Shylily collab, there was an excessive amount of shitposting and most of the quality posters moved to Discord.
However none of that compares to January 2024 - April 2024. The threads were literal oceans of really low quality AI art slop image dumps with a few determined autists shitting up any discussion at all.
Around the time of the Court stream these autists that were presumably botting /swarm/ with the image dumps all mysteriously vanished, I'm guessing they were range banned and it finally stuck.
Fast forward to now and the Discord has generated into dogshit and the quality of /swarm/ has risen dramatically.
