Yeah exactly.

I've stayed in apartments a lot when travelling, but I've never used AirBNB. Not because of any reason against them, but I've just tended to use other online services/sites.

I have the same issue. It works fine when creating a post. But when replying none of the buttons do anything when tapped. No response at all, like they are images instead of buttons.

Very weird. I tried turning off Adguard, because sometimes that is a little too rough on blocking everything, but that didn't help.

I'm on a Galaxy S23 Ultra on Android 13.

Me too. Out of interest, what phone are you in and do you use a screen protector?

My S23 Ultra has a super slippery screen, so I suspect that isn't helping. Great for swiping on the keyboard, not so much for precise left swiping.

It's weird these numbers are so small, it should feel dead. But there are a lot of great discussions and a lot of good laughs to be had here.

The level of engagement for the very small numbers here must be quite impressive.

I guess it's the old quality vs quantity.

I think it would then delete any account in both Instagram and Threads.

But there's no need to do that. If you already have Instagram and your happy with it, there's nothing extra you need to worry about just because there's a shadow account pre set up for you in Threads.

It's a shady way for them to push their new service, but it's not like they suddenly have any more info on you than they already had.

My starting assumption is that almost everything I read online is either misrepresented or totally untrue.

If I don't recognise the source I assume there's a high chance it's bullshit. If I recognise the source well, I still assume there's a chance it could be inaccurate.

5 billion downloads on the Play store. Apparently about 1-2 billion of those are not very active. Still huge numbers though.

Nice!

Will have to look into this more.

[–] MusketeerX 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yes, but in this instance, they are allowing people to pre-follow that shadow account and then apparently you get a notification to say they have followed you promoting you to join and follow them back.

That's a very cunning way to boost their new service quickly!

I'm relieved they're not doing that with WhatsApp.

Does that person who has been pre-followed then get a notification to join and respond/follow back?

Because that would be a great way to boost the new service exponentially.

I think it happens because you can't specify the right community. I once tried to create a post on this community and it wouldn't let me.

I read that you may need to be subscribed to post into a community, not sure if that's true I haven't tested it properly yet.
