 I continue to recommend the web app for all the text (and image and video) based networks if you have an iPhone / any modern android device. It’s a LOT less tracking and you can enable ad blockers on top of that if you want to. Finally, it will also make the whole process a lot more intentional.

 There are some additional benefits: 

- want to default to the threads following feed? There’s a link for that — https://threads.net/following
- don’t want autoplaying video / other such accessibility control, your user agent (browser) will allow additional tweaks. 

the best web app so far is bsky.app. What would make it even better would be the addition of haptics support for things like like, post etc. This will only improve android experience as ios still prevents web haptics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Mastodon and Threads have decent web apps. However, threads doesn’t allow disabling media/gif autoplay and mastodon design could do with some love.
