Threads is view-only without the app, so no using it on PC. Probably because they wouldn’t be able to get as much data. I would never use it anyway but it’s so stupid.
You can at least view threads without logging in? That’s better than instagram usually forces login. Still won’t use it.
instagram usually doesn’t for just viewing profiles or posts but anything past that it’ll prompt you and there’s a big ass banner at the bottom asking you to sign in
Wow. Did not know that. That’s crazy. Let’s cripple something running on a more powerful processor and with a bigger screen and full keyboard? That’s just backwards and terrible.
Not backwards for them maybe. They will frame it as being a mobile-optimized experience that captures your (whatever), but of course it is monitoring your gyro right now to determine whether you’re sitting upright, lying in your bed, or … something else.
Safe bet if you are on threads, Lemmy, or Reddit, you’re probably pooping.
It’s fundamentally backwards. I miss times when tech people ran technology.
I feel like an idiot for not knowing this, but website do you go to to read Threads?
I tried going to “threads.net” but it’s just a link to download the app?
You can view threads profiles by typing threads.net/@username, for example threads.net/@meta
