Dublin Event Guide 818: No Threads for us – Funtropolis, LexIcon Family Fun Day, Unison Festival, Bastille Day

Dublin Event Guide (for Free Events)

No Threads for us

Funtropolis, LexIcon Family Fun Day, Unison Festival, Bastille Day

Hi!!

Have you heard about “Threads”? Threads is a new app ny Meta (i.e. Facebook) that is intended to be a Twitter replacement. First when Twitter started censoring certain opinions and people and afterwards since Elon Musk’s take over of Twitter and the introduction of a lot of changes (mainly limits or fees that have been added), a space for a Twitter replacement has been created.

There is Mastodon and Substack Notes, but my bet is that that neither of them will make it, and now there is Threads. Threads found 12 million new users in the first 12 hour after the launch, which is a crazy sign up rate and it now has reached around 30 million users.

Interestingly VERY few of the 30 million are from the EU because Threads did launch in the US and the UK, but NOT in the EU. (There are ways to get it nevertheless, but EU users are not meant to have access to it.)

Why? Because Threads seems to break a whole range of privacy rules and because the EU has much stricter rules than the rest of the world (incl the UK!) Meta decided to hold off with the launch here until they are certain that they won’t get into trouble.

In the US, Threads users are informed that the app will collect a wide range of their data including health and financial information, browsing histories, location, purchases, contacts, search history and sensitive information. So maybe we don’t really want (or need) Threads?

Users can publish short posts of up to 500 characters on Threads (that is more than Twitter’s 280) and include links and videos up to 5 minutes long. Because it is connected to other Meta social media platforms, a post on Threads can very easily get shared to Instagram or Facebook.

When it becomes available here, I will check it out and will let you know. In the meantime, come to Facebook to find the Dublin Event Guide news at www.fb.com/DublinEventGuide

Donations in July: 
EUR 44

(By the end of the month, this number has to reach or exceed EUR 200 to guarantee the continuation of the Dublin Event Guide.)

If the Dublin Event Guide helps you to find out about free events in Dublin, please help with a donation.

The counter here shows the current donation status. By the end of the month EUR 200 will be subtracted to pay the bills. If more money has been donated, the rest will be carried forward. If donations have stopped below the EUR 200, the missing amount will be carried over.

Thank you soo much for helping again this week! This week the following wonderful people donated: Tania and Angela! Thank you! :-) Your donation will keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and will motivate me to continue week after week. I appreciate you and your support!

With the above counter you know at all times where we stand and when donating is needed. Donations keep the Dublin Event Guide alive and all donors will also get some additional bonuses.

Here are some more details about donations:
Any amount is appreciated, but if you are looking for a recommendation, then I suggest a donation of 12 Euro per year. – That’s just one Euro per month and you get FOUR Dublin Event Guides for that Euro! If your funds are limited, but you still want to help, you can buy a virtual coffee for just EUR 4. All donations will be used in full for the Dublin Event Guide.

To donate, use the Dublin Event Guide Donation Page here: gturl.eu/DEGdonate. It is really easy to use and uses Stripe’s trustworthy payment processing. You can even sign up for a yearly subscription on the donation page! Yearly subscriptions will give some important financial stability and reliability to the Dublin Event Guide and are therefore very much appreciated! (Look for the RED subscription buttons at the bottom of the Donation Page.)

In case the donation page doesn’t work for you, the old links are here: You can donate via www.paypal.me/DublinEventGuide or for Revolut users among you, just use @joergbrb or now also revolut.me/joergbrb
(If possible, please send your full name and e-mail address as a message with the payment via PayPal or Revolut so that I can tell you about bonuses for donors when available.)

To buy one or two or even three virtual coffees for the Dublin Event Guide, come to the “Buy Me a Coffee” page here www.buymeacoffee.com/DublinEventG

And there is one other way to help and it is even free: If you come to www.DublinEventGuide.com and check out some of the ads and click on the ones that you find interesting, that also helps with a few cent! ?

Thank you!!

And there is more…

+++ LEARN A NEW SKILL WITH ONLINE COURSES
Is there ever a wrong time for learning a new skill or enhancing what you are already interested in? Maybe it is a language or an instrument or some technical skills? Or something completely different? Nearly every subject is there! Check out Udemy via the link below, they have thousands of courses and there is good chance that what you are looking for is available. Nearly all the courses are REALLY affordable!
The lowest price most of the time is EUR 12.99. Sometimes it even goes down further to EUR 9.99 and when that happens (about once or twice a year), I will tell you. But even 12.99 is definitely a good price for what you get! – Check out the website at www.getthislink.com/Udemy22 And if you buy through that link, you also help the Dublin Event Guide! :-)
