There's a number of text-based conversation network apps. Now THREADS seems to be taking over.

[Fla Dem]

What text-based conversation network app are you currently using?

If you are using more than one, select your favorite.

If you would suggest another similar social texting network what would it be?

Thanks for your participation.

1. Be careful of these, Thread in particular, vaccuums up huge amounts of your data when it connects.

My wife is in cybersecurity and she has banned these from our home network or phones.

4. Thanks for the warning. Keep very little data on my laptop.

Use external drives to store any personal data. But I'm still careful. Don't know what kind of security wall DU.

6. Right now, as I understand it, Threads is available only as an app for iOS and Android.

9. I don't know if this is what you mean, but as I understand it

Thread is only available if you have the app and subscribe to Instagram and only on your cell phone. I really don't want to subscribe to Instagram.

10. Yes, you need an Instagram account and have to use a phone or tablet.

2. I'm still on Twitter,

but am still looking around at alternatives.

A couple more are Post News and Spoutible.

3. My siblings and I use Slack.

5. Every one with an Instagram account has a Threads account.

That's how they got all those accounts so fast.

I opted to delete my Instagram account since I don't really sue it anyway.

I'm trying to reduce my time on Twitter and build up my Mastodon account at the same time.

8. And a reminder: meta, threads, abortion laws

Reminding everyone of the time that Meta turned over Facebook posts to the police and got a mother and daughter charged with abortion crimes while everyone talks about running over to #threads for no particular reason https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/10/23299502/facebook-chat-messenger-history-nebraska-teen-abortion-case

11. I quit Twitter when Musk bought it

Don't really miss it so I'll just go without
