So I was going to try threads but can't figure out how. I'm not interested in using a phone. I'm on a computer. Is there no web version?

  There is no web version. Threads can be viewed at a URL, but you can't join, post, or browse via web. Amazing, eh?

    Wow. And this is supposed to liberate us from twitter. Oh, my poor internet, what have they done to you?

      "Website? e-mail? What's that? If you want to get in touch with me, or find out what school events are coming up or whether your kids bus is late, or whether there's a tornado that touched down near by, or whether your local ski hill is open ... use [Facebook|Twitter|Threads]" Sigh. https://qz.com/333313/milliions-of-facebook-users-have-no-idea-theyre-using-the-internet https://qz.com/333313/milliions-of-facebook-users-have-no-id... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet.org https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet.org https://www.wired.com/2016/01/facebook-zuckerberg-internet-org/ https://www.wired.com/2016/01/facebook-zuckerberg-internet-o...

    If it uses the ActivityPub protocol, then couldn't you use any ActivityPub client to send/receive messages with it (or else, to deal with the JSON data directly)?
    • cmrdporcupine 3y ago
      It doesn't use ActivityPub yet. (Or maybe ever) Also ActivityPub as I understand it has two separate forms -- a client mode, and a server to server federation mode. When/if they do implement ActivityPub, it will likely be the latter that gets implemented not the former.
