Downloads Friendica.
- mur, pick a server that doesn't federate with Threads (Meta), I suppose. First one I saw, sorting for English was My-Place.social, "We federate with Threads." https://dir.friendica.social/servers/en
  
  Edit: Fixed link
  
  That link returns a 404.
  
  Yeah like... What's the point of using xitter/meta alternatives if the servers are still going to federate with them? I'd use the normal apps if I wanted that.
Lol, lmao. Shitty apps and company.
how does this affect privacy?
- many apps that come from the play store use trackers in their app to track users activity and preference. And social media apps are the worst, they use the data to serve personalized ads
- Privacy-focused people have one more reason to abandon these companies altogether, so overall privacy should increase and improve.
  
  Privacy focused people don't use any Facebook shit in the first place. So nothing's changing here.
good move.

Does anyone use instagram who isn’t advertising something ?
Greedy companies will just ramp up their greed.
