“Instagram owner”
Have they paid the publication for this weird title? It’s Meta. Are they so ashamed they believe calling it a Meta service would mean less users?
Well I guess this is because it is called “Threads, an Instagram app”
No, they’ve already said it’ll be connected to Instagram and allow you to push updates to your Instagram followers
Fewer users.
And yes.
Mastodon is already pretty active, and is also part of the fediverse
you lost me at “Instagram”
That’s impossible, Instagram already knows your gps coordinates…
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.
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.
Also calckey is pretty cool too
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.
Is there a way to see recent popular posts? That’s like the only thing missing for me.
Ive been using wefwef since the loss of Apollo / reddit, it works pretty well and allows to sort posts or comments accordingly. If you want to see what’s going on right now you can go to your all feed and set it to the most recent posts. Also has a bunch of other sorting options. Like hot and active.
“Instagram owner” just say Meta lol
We all know it’s the Zucc, you don’t gotta lie of omission to kick it.
installs app
Declines everything
“To use the app You need to allow-”
Uninstalls app
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)
Great, another Meta privacy brea… I mean service I can stay away from.
No no, you were right the first time
Mastodon is a viable option, but then again, this app does some basic automatic account creation from existing FB data and follow people from it. This alone will impress some non-tech journalist and praise it. We have become too lazy to get out of the burning house and save our life.
I wonder if any of that break some GPDR or California Data laws.
And people will join on there and it will have more success than better alternatives probably, at least for now. It’s mindblowing how little people care/understand.
And it’s not even like Meta offers any good service, FB has been crap forever.
Yeah… Meta the owner of Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp wants to collect data from you? Shocker
At least we have all the fediverse micro-blogging section
And here!
Yeah I don’t get why they need all these permissions. Crazy
for targeted ads I guess
Looks to me that Zuck is trying to compete with Truth Social – no way this garbage will be Federated.
