"Threads is a mobile-only experience at the moment and users can only make posts, write comments and follow people on the platform's mobile app."

You lost me at "mobile-only" πŸ™ƒ

@fribbledom they lost me at being a β€œMeta” project

@fribbledom hey how else are they gonna harvest all the juicy personal data that's in people's phones

@fribbledom In a very roundabout way, Threads being mobile-only has led me to discover that scrolling Instagram on desktop with AdBlock running is a much better experience than the mobile app.

Threads being mobile-only (or mobile-first or whatever) ought to tell us everything we need to know about what they want to do with our data.

@fribbledom I guess browsers don't collect enough personal information.

@fribbledom It probably lost me at both "mobile" and "app." I imagine the API is also closed, so there's no making an open source replacement app for it.

@fribbledom Same here. Maybe time for ADA lawsuit.

@fribbledom I use no zuckservices so I got no invite.

Maybe just as well?

@fribbledom That's only because it's easier for a browser to have an ad blocker.

@fribbledom it does work on Windows Subsystem for Android if you really want it on a Desktop. But yeah, you lost me at "Instagram".
