“Instagram owner” just say Meta lol
We all know it’s the Zucc, you don’t gotta lie of omission to kick it.
This is so egregiously excessive that Threads can’t launch in the EU (https://m.independent.ie/business/technology/no-instagram-threads-app-in-the-eu-irish-dpc-says-metas-new-twitter-rival-wont-be-launched-here/a1927220337.html)
As of Twitter doesn’t collect your data…
This post is Meta.
On a serious note, can we appreciate Meta’s marketing team for the timing of this announcement. They waited for Twitter to bleed to kick it in the shins.
Mastodon is the federated equivalent of twitter the same way lemmy can be considered the federated alternative of reddit. That’s the nice Twitter alternative you are looking for.
This is what I’ve been telling everyone. Don’t go to threads, go to mastodon.
This would be great but most people will not care and sacrifice data for convinence. Wish the government cared as much about us big tech as they did TikTok.
They only attacked TikTok because it’s Chinese, though. Their own data thieves are OK cause they’re buddies.
Of course. That’s my point. All big tech needs to be held to that standard but it doesn’t.
you lost me at “Instagram”
Facebook makes a product that squeezes every last drop from your privacy? Nooooooo waaaay!
Ahem. They’re called Meta.
But seriously, fuck anything Zuckerberg owns.
I don’t care what they all themselves, they are always going to be Facebook.
They gave up on the metaverse already so I don’t think that name fits anymore.
Great, another Meta privacy brea… I mean service I can stay away from.
Mastodon is already pretty active, and is also part of the fediverse
The unfortunate reality is that unlike us, most of the Twitter users could not care less about making choices, let alone privacy. Twitfaces can’t calm down and talk without going ballistic and you think they’ll willingly look into what federated social media is?
Alot of them are moving though thanks to twitter repeatedly fucking up, I’ve been seeing some artists and such on mastodon recently that were only on twitter before.
People just need to spread the word; there isn’t a marketing campaign or anything for the fediverse after all.
We are the marketing campaign.
“If you can hear this… You ARE the resistance.”
Yeah I don’t get why they need all these permissions. Crazy
Because they want it. It’s the main reason why they’ve built the app.
Looks to me that Zuck is trying to compete with Truth Social – no way this garbage will be Federated.
All social media are same lol
Why the first reaction frame? Instagram is owned by Meta, of course they’re going to have incredibly invasive data collection policies.
Is this the alleged decentralized/federated Twitter app that Facebook has been working on?
Yup, but it’s not even integrated with ActivityPub yet
I read that it wouldn’t be federated to begin with. Which is weird, because then it’s just another silo…
I really liked that show, Silo. I think I’m gonna read the books
