Casey NewtonI talked to Instagram chief Adam Mosseri about Threads, a radical new social network where you can view more than 600 posts per day, totally free of charge https://www.platformer.news/p/meta-unspools-threads

Quinn Comendant@wheelsee @caseynewton I fixed that error by disabling my vpn, force quitting App Store, and trying again.
@com @caseynewton yeah it took a few force closes of App Store to work

@caseynewton so much for vacation.
nova@caseynewton the fact that the lack of viewing limits in 2023 is a feature is totally embarrassing for 🐦

@hypernova @caseynewton totally embarrassing for the modern world
David@caseynewton Sorry, but I prefer software where I can use my keyboard and monitor with it instead of a tiny phone.
@david1 @caseynewton Me too. Looking forward to Threads being federated with ActivityPub so I can reply to my friends there from Mastodon.
Julián Gustavo Gómez@caseynewton i give them a month before Threads becomes a tab in the Instagram app.

Strange New Words (Adam)@caseynewton oooOOOOooohh, tell us MORE!!!
MrCopilot@caseynewton Following links from the Article->Play Store->Permissions & Privacy-Developer Privacy Policy->Meta Privacy policy
Where there is nary a mention of #Threads
I'm sure you have seen the laundry list of permissions and data floating around from their store listings...and the news the EU is a non starter (Even for the developer!) Which is horrific enough.
But bro, you gotta keep up with the TOS on the app stores or they will happily boot you.
James Britt@caseynewton What's the tl;dr as to what makes this radical?
Tim Ceuppens@caseynewton bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see if that pays off.
CDR Sir Samuel Vimes@caseynewton Hard. Pass.

@caseynewton free of charge?!
You're kidding me, right?
It's costing you your #privacy
@caseynewton just wait, if Twitter blue subscriptions soar cause of that tweet limitations, other companies will follow
Blake Mitchell@caseynewton but can’t look at a feed of only who you follow.
More snow on the winternet
Gaddish@caseynewton Hey, saw in the article that you mentioned on the article that on Mastodon you have to write the whole handle to find an account. I use Tusky on Android and there it seems to work by searching just for the username (screenshot attached)
tako bell@caseynewton The suggested content from accounts i dont follow killed it for me. So i joined mastodon! I guess when threads intregrates properly all those people will be on mastodon too, but at least I can have a good app while talking to them
Tony Hill@caseynewton Er, nope. To follow someone on here one doesn't have to know their server or not necessarily the complete user name. If you type just a name into the searchfield it shows you different accounts with that name. You can than follow the one you were looking for. Just saying :)
@caseynewton Re the comparison: As far as one might know, Twitter 2010 did not collect this data: https://mastodon.social/@BasicAppleGuy/110653347642958580
@TonyHill when did that change???
@caseynewton I don't know. Since spending more time on here I always did it that way. Lucky me? ;)
