With the launch of Meta’s new social networking platform, Threads, we dedicate this week’s episode to the good, the bad, and the ugly of social media.

As Twitter circulates slowly down the drain (taking TweetDeck with it, apparently), we discuss the toxicity of that platform and whether Threads is a viable alternative. We also talk about the relationship between Threads and Instagram, our own various social media accounts, and learning how to deal with trolls — including one very angry, unemployed rage-aholic from Torrence, California — without losing your mind.

And speaking of our various accounts, you can follow us on: 

Threads: @jenncooks and @dave_von_ebers 

Instagram: @jenncooks, @dave_von_ebers, and our joint account, @jenn_and_dave

YouTube: Jenn and Dave

Twitter: @JennandDave1, @itsotetPodcast, and, if you must … @DavefromTR1 (apologies in advance)

So, please enjoy this week’s episode, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, and, as always, support the rights of LGBTQIA people everywhere!
