Threads 13+

One of the main benefits and blessing of the US Constitutional system is that the “inefficient” checks and balances created and inherent in the system minimizes the the abuse of power and arbitrary arbitrary decisions inherent in authoritarian governments. That system of checks and balances insures that our government is required to operate with integrity and democratically for all citizens. It is why so many, if not ALL of the Trump appointed executives who think they are “running” our government have a commonality of person abuses of power and loyalty (obsequiousness) to Trump no matter how harmful or stupid the statement or action of or by Trump might be.
We revolted from the authoritarianism of King George in 1776 and England followed our example by limiting the power of their subsequent Kings. The stupidity of a slight majority of our voters seems to have forgotten what our country’s founders learned and sacrificed to actually “Make Our Country Great.”
The irony of the computer expertise of many of the wealthiest supporters of Trump makes me suspicious that the actual 2024 vote tallies in many states might have been manipulated to corruptly insure Trump’s election.
As the chief Certified Idiot said about the 2000 Presidential election “it was corrupt and stolen” but the Truth may be that the year was wrong and the Stolen Election may have actually been in 2024.

I love being able to use threads to read people’s takes on different topics, without having to sift through myriads of bot accounts and troll farmers. The “block” and hide comment” functions are especially appreciated when dealing with the few bad actors who slip into the conversation.

My issue with Threads stems from an apparent bug in the system. Whenever I post something, I see a notification bar pop up telling me it’s posting. Unfortunately, this notification will remain onscreen indefinitely if it is not clicked, and even then it is replaced by another “posting” notification, and a “posted” message when it is done. These notifications also pop up at random times even after they are clicked through, and if I post, click and leave, they will appear when I return to the app. This is especially frustrating when I am replying to a thread, as it blocks my reply window and I have to (once again) click several times just to see what I am writing.

I have updated to the current version of the app, and I am running the latest iOS version on my phone. I wish someone could address this bug and fix it.

It’s like Twitter but worse. Just don’t get this app, what I’ve seen were just endless wars over republicans and democrats. And other than that, there’s literally grown people hating on oh I dunno… someone existing who happens to be posting on this app. (Using the app normally like any other platform) Except, what the hard headed haters were mad about was simply because of their identity or sexuality. (This is just harassment at this point because the person making the post isn’t doing any harm and is just existing. As a human. Like you. And then those dumb ahh hate comments are gonna be like- “oH, iT’s aDAm aND EvE, nOT AdAm AnD sTEve!!” Like, no Susan, not everyone in the entire world has the same beliefs as you and you shouldn’t feel so entitled to harass people for simply living their life. I’m sure what I just said could have easily made someone’s blood boil. But I don’t care because this is just simple common sense and it’s obviously not right to attack someone on the internet just because they’re DIFFERENT than you. That’s seriously no way to live. 😔🤧 Anyways, this app made me lose 70% of hope for human society. If you read this entire review, thank you. And if you’re planning to download threads completely unaware of the chaos it brings, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT AT ALL. There are also dangerous creeps on the app and I just recommend you to not download this god awful app at all. Anyways, hope this helps! 😊
