Posted March 30, 2018 OK, so I am worried that our good old sites may go poof some day so, being a good herd follower ("Baaa" "Baaa"), I signed up for a Switter account and it took me right to the "Welcome to Switter," appropriately hip and black page. This is where I get stuck. When you go to the "Get Started" button, apparently you need to pick a "Community" which apparently is a loosely set up group. Has anyone set up a group? It doesn't seem like any of the "communities" are Colorado based Gal/Trick groups. They say "it works just like Twitter" which is absolutely no help to a die-hard Twitter-hater who has never gone near that platform. In the meantime, if anyone wants to share their switter names, please PM them and I will make a list, so that we can build from there if the big poof happens. This thing is interesting, apparently lives on a platform called Mastodon, and is full of quirky tech-stuff like "instances." I am an analog guy trapped in a digital age. Anyone able to help? I could call or take a call. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 30, 2018 Well, they do eventually send you an e-mail to help get set up, but it is still a mystery. BTW, correction, and apparently this is important, Any others out there? Buhler? Buhler? Buhler? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) OK, problem cured. Use Firefox, not Internet Explorer. Then you can actually see the instructions, etc. Golly, it's easy as pie now. Pretty cool place. Edited March 30, 2018 by BadBoy 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 31, 2018 Don't care for the site format so far, but need to adjust filters. That being said that sites being hammered. When I looked at after I 1st saw it on Twitter 2 days ago, 642 users now like 8700. I wonder if their server ('s) are gonna explode. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 31, 2018 I kinda like it's format - takes getting used to. Nowhere as useful as TOB, but a neat way to keep up the network in case we get nuked. I have been able to locate about 30 Denverites so far, and I am sure it will grow. Hint to those signing up - just go to my page and you can see everyone I found and just follow them (which is what I did with Rayne's page, Fishndude's page and FuriousWeasel's page). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Switter sounds promising although I haven't tried it yet. If similar to Twitter, an important feature that should be added [absent from Twitter] is some kind of localisation, to make it easier for members from Denver (or Colorado) to find the other members from the same local area. Maybe something like a "follow all [insert location here] ladies (or gentlemen)". Private messaging would be good also.

At least it would help us find each other easier. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The performance on Wednesday was shaky, but yesterday it was screaming. I find the Chrome to be a good browser for switter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 3, 2018 I've actually really enjoyed Switter so far. Its a good place and decently easy to use once you get the hand of it! It's not perfect but it fills the void and does that well. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 3, 2018 Does Switter have an app that can be downloaded from the apple store or playstore? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that’s not surprising either. It’s highly unlikely it would pass the Apple submission process. But with that said look for Mastodon and you might get something back. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 3, 2018 @ilovewomen You can access Switter.at through a few different apps on the app store (google and apple). Search for Mastodon as JoDoe27 mentioned and you'll have a few options. I would personally avoid tootdon as they save all messages/conversations on their servers and hold them for an extended period of time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
