32. Ooh, that's definitely a turnoff for me.

Oct 2023

I haven't even tried to look at threads yet, but I don't like the sound of that. I do most of my online stuff on my tablet, in landscape mode. I'll use the phone when I'm away from home, and there's no wifi, but mostly for reading articles, because the screen is too tiny for my aging eyes to use for much else. I don't even use DU on my phone unless I absolutely HAVE to, because I hate the way it looks on there.

I'll probably break down and check it out Threads sometime for curiosity's sake, but right now, the curiosity isn't strong enough. X sucks, but I was never all that into Twitter, so I haven't felt the need to look for something to replace it.
