It's amazing how reliant we became on Twitter for things like that, and absolutely astounding that one selfish moron could obliterate it all.

Will Threads have a web interface, or solely be an app?

So far it appears that the web interface will be for reading only. To interact you may need the app. But .. I dunno, that's not really Facebook's way, is it?

Yes, "threads" are indeed read-only without the app. linkage -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I can read the linked 'thread' The EU has no way to use it yet. I can not see a way to browse through others. 50 threads per day for free users. No limit for reading afaik. 50 should be more than enough for me. But if it is per month? That would be limiting. 500 chat messages limit a day or month Should be able to chat with companies. If it is per month, then it might be a problem too. It would have to be a better service than a bank or Netflix if I were to pay for it.

I am considering paying for mewe, but it would be a cold day in hell before I ever gave $$ to Mark Fuckerberg or Elon Musk. Can't see paying for Cohost, really doesn't offer much.

Sadly MeWe makes you pay for a page if you are a business, on top of the normal price for a regular person. |update| -=-=- |update| Finally got my Mastodon header image fixed so it displays properly on all of my systems. Took a bit of work, for some reason it was cutting off on the Chromebook. |

 Already fallen out of love with Threads. No native iPad app, fuxake, can't use the proper iPad keyboard as a result, so typing is a pain in the arse. The timeline is also algorithmically generated, and there doesn't seem to be a way to make it "proper". Nah, bollocks to that. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

 Yes, "threads" are indeed read-only without the app. I could not afford to use "threads". Stupid to pay for a phone with a data plan just to use an app that I could not even see on a phone screen. |

'Everyone running back to Twitter after trying Threads for five minutes': Social media erupts with memes slamming Zuckerberg's new app to rival Elon's - as they complain about 'bugs' and 'lack of basic features' |

What are tweets going to be called now that Twitter branding is being removed and replaced by X?

Huh? Twitter is getting rebranded?

Apparently so, but Elon's been changing icons and things for the past week, so I wouldn't expect it to be an official thing until it definitely is.

The read limit is set to 20.000 now afaik. I have been able to read it again. Customer service is now done outside of DM. But companies are still using it for that.

Speaking of Mastodon, I can't get my app to load images at all. they're blurred out in the timeline and when I click on them, I get a blank image, the loading bar goes most of the way then stops.

Which app are you using? I've installed Ivory (from the Tweetbot people) but .. honestly, I tend to just use the website all the time, instead! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Catually, on inspection, it's just the website, no app. You know how android blurs that distinction. Just checked the website (https://mastodon.social/home) on my desktop and it oes the same.

I thought I lost the twitter app on the phone. It is now a black X icon and is called X.
|

They had to change the rules for Twitter to allow them to use X. App names for the App store must be two characters long.

Yeah, seems they're not messing with that X name, huh. Dumb as shit. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
