While likely true nothing is making you give them money to enjoy it.

I’ve been playing off and on since it came out and have never given them a damn cent, and have really enjoyed it.

Just did.

It went right to the “Saved on my iPhone” section of the Files app.

Sorta makes sense.

It’s like my generation not knowing how to fix cars because our fathers all did it.

Ever since like android 11 nothing saves in my download folder anymore on the SD card I have inserted.

Everything gets saved deep in the android subdirectory, and then somewhere in a folder named loosely after the app that downloaded it, where the app has made ANOTHER folder to put the file.

And then you can’t even move it with a third party folder app. It’s gotten so annoying lately I’d swear they just want to kill the SD card from android completely.

It’s like a white supremacy meeting.

In two days, the Ukrainian army’s terror shelling of residential areas in the DPR (Donetsk People’s Republic), some of which was carried out with weapons supplied by the West, has killed four children in the Donbass.

Yes, that’s also terrible.

Anything else to add to your whataboutism?

lol moderator removed my comment simply saying I enjoy using Threads!

You guys are hilarious!

Okay.

So like, you realize if you don’t want to use threads you don’t have to, right? Just because other people like it doesn’t mean you have to turn into a cranky curmudgeon.

Why turn to insults just because we have different views on things?

So you can’t have a good character or story unless it’s centered around whether the character is a man or a woman?

Where on Earth did you get that from my comment?

You’re gonna lose your mind when you hear about aliens, robots and other non sexed characters.

….which often is attached to specific unique narrative concepts for those types of characters, since they too share a unique world view that is helpful or even necessary to set the background and future specific storyline.

Well that’s not true at all. Men and women have different life experiences and that often is what drives a narrative.

I’m not a fan of grass, horrible invasive monoculture that harms the native insect populations. I’ll blow some dandelions for you though if that helps you feel safer about my social media preferences.

I don’t even use Facebook nor have I ever.

I was more of a Google+ kind of nerd.

“Aspects of Instagram exacerbate each other to create a perfect storm,” said one internal report, which said pressure to share only the best moments and to look perfect could pitch teenagers into depression, low self-esteem and eating disorders.

“Issues like negative social comparison and anxiety exist in the world, so they’re going to exist on social media too,” Newton said. “That doesn’t change the fact that we take these findings seriously, and we set up a specific effort to respond to this research and change Instagram for the better.”

Yes it’s true, looking at pictures of pretty people all day can make some people feel less pretty about themselves. Shocking, I know.

Odd how you left out the part about them trying to use the study to make instagram better. Totally no bias on your part!

Would you be more or less upset if they didn’t care to study it at all? Genuinely curious how you think them trying to understand their platform better makes you angry.

I’ve used threads since it was released out of curiosity, and it’s so far got some of the best moderation I’ve ever seen.

No joke, it seems like they are trying their best to make it as friendly and wholesome as possible.

So many women and minorities uplifting and helping each other, it was honestly quite shocking.

On twitter, I sometimes spend a couple hours just reporting hateful people, and only one or two reports ever gets acted on, everyone else seems to get a pass to hate.

But on Threads, I’ve yet to even need to report a single post, it’s kinda eerie.

I am on Threads my guy, this is the internet you can be in multiple places at once.

Also, how am I bothering everyone else?

Are y’all not ganging up on me and my opinion? Does it bother you guys to be bullies to someone for sharing a dissenting voice to yours?

I’m sorry if having a choice bothers you, I’m sorry if hearing something opposite of what you want bothers you.

Nobody is asking you to be a jerk to people who differ in what they would like.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

*holy shit y’all took this post seriously, what kind of extremism left Reddit?!?

Thanks for your concern about me!

Don’t worry, I do use threads and enjoy it quite a bit!

It’s easily the friendliest social media I’ve ever used, and I’ve never even had a Facebook account!

It’s sweet you think lil ole us using the internet actually affects things on the grand scheme of billions of users, though! Bless your heart!

They don’t, they just really really hate social media. That’s why they’re here, after all.

Shhhhh people are scared here, just go with it if you care about people being mean to you for having a different opinion and/or enjoying something they are afraid of. (Which clearly makes you evil)

Yep.

But I gotta admit watching all these old cis straight white dudes get terrified of social media is at least quite entertaining!
