Thread app / myLot

July 9, 2023 3:40am CST

the Thread app is just newly launched but the way people rushed to download and use the app is amazing. probably because of easy registration linked to Instagram. i started using the app yesterday night but I think I will prefer it to twitter.

For the dinosaurs like me it is interesting to know that you do not need a smartphone, you can go to the Threads site using your computer.

@pureme Correct, there is a desktop app available for Mac and Windows to access Threads using a computer

@pureme I would be careful downloading the Threads app for PC. If there is one online, it's not from Meta. The Meta Threads site says there is no desktop app available yet.

Saw early reviews about the app and I'm not impressed nor am I interested.

I rarely use social media other than Facebook. I don't want to download any more apps and I have no intention of using Instagram or anything related to it. I saw Threads because someone I follow on social media shared his new account. It was quite funny because he'd asked people to go there so they could chat away from the 'elderly Facebook-addicted relatives', and then received several comments showing that the majority of followers are, in fact, the older Facebook crowd!

the space on the phone is a major for upcoming apps truly. in fact I had to uninstall some old apps to install the thread app on my phone.

I downloaded it, but didn't post anything yet. I don't know that I really need another social network, maybe to publicize my blogs. That's what I use Facebook for anyway.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I might try it out sometime in the future since I am on Twitter already.

Thread tried to outsmart twitter by removing some limitations.

Is this the one that Elon Musk is mad at? They not allowing Twitter on it. I find that funny in itself considering Elon is banning Twiiter from pretty much every thing.
