Daily Driver Thread — use responsibly
These Threads automate routine activity on your own account: posting, replying, commenting, DMs. Done at human cadence — a few times a day — this is exactly what you already do by hand. The Thread just hands the busywork off.
It is not a bot farm, scraper, fake-engagement tool, or multi-account network. WebLoom will not help you build any of those.
If you push it — 50 posts an hour, follow/unfollow loops, content that looks identical every time — the platform will flag your account, restrict it, or ban it. That risk is yours. We tell you up-front because every platform has tripwires and we will not pretend they don't exist. Full policy →
This is what installs to ~/.webloom/threads/. No magic. Just JSON.
