Hey, Darlin'. Re: Threads, I could be wrong, but I think if you turn off "Private" on your profile, thus making your profile public, you won't get all of those "permission to follow" requests. At least I think you're getting them because you've made it a private profile so people need your permission to follow you. Of course, that only works if you're okay with your profile being public. Happy Threads! I'm liking it. Admittedly that's mainly because I despise Zuck a good bit less than Elon.
Cathy, thanks! I originally wanted to protect my privacy on Threads by having to approve followers, but that has gotten out of control. I think I will follow your advice and see what happens.
Deece, like you, I’m a proud Texan who often is not very proud of Texas, or more to the point, the horrific things some public officials do in her name. These days I alternate between despondency about our political landscape and the hope, (naive as it may appear), that one day those of us who give a damn about democracy, other human beings, and simple decency toward all Texans will be able to regain the high ground. Here’s to a brighter day, huh?
John, thanks for reading and for your comment. I share your frustration with our state's leadership. I know change is coming, and so does the GOP, which is doing everything it can to delay it (voter suppression, etc.). In the meantime, we commit to the slog.
I knew quickly when I saw that about importing your current IG I didn’t want that. I’ve always generally kept a separation between the two and I’m glad I’ve been so choosy. I wish someone would put Twitter out of its misery sooner than later. I miss old Twitter tho.
Deece, My friend, just stick to your original ideas and plans. You were special to begin with and your perspective on Texas politics, is like no other!Always keep your focused on the things that keep you happy!
So test the waters if you chose, but stay true to yourself and walk away if it’s not what it’s supposed to be! The Twitter rival game has been going on since Musk bought it, and he’s made numerous mistakes, but since then others have promised better platforms and not delivered, I am staying with Twitter.
Twitter versus Threads is just more gamesmanship’s, between two super egos.

Very well said my fellow Texan.

I find I pay not much attention to either Twitter or Threads, although I occasionally check out some friends' feeds on each. Not missing anything …
