93 0 Replyi hate zuck but i think i hate elon even more, i'll enjoy to see the war
51 0 ReplyZuck doesn't care that he's making the world worse. Elon actually wants to make the world worse. That's the difference really

Perhaps. Maybe even probably. But possibly not—it’s rumored to have been in the works for quite some time.

Fuck Facebook, but I must admit that’s a snazzy logo.
32 0 ReplyJust looks like a scribbled attempt at an @ to me, but to each their own
14 0 ReplyI mean… isn’t that sort of the point though? It’s supposed to look like an @ symbol that looks like it’s being thread/is a thread.
15 0 ReplyEven then, I'm not sure what makes that so great. Looks like what someone came up with on a doodle.

I'm just confused why it's shaped like a 6 to be quite honest
3 0 ReplyThey used the other style of ‘a’ to make the @ symbol look more thread like.

Instagram is still cool with the kids, which is why this is an "Instagram app" and not a "Facebook app" or a "Meta app".
20 0 ReplyThey can kiss my ass. Only Meta product I use is messenger and that’s only because my wife insists on using it.
13 0 Replyyou're only allowing yourself and your wife, the woman you love most in the entire world, a little arsenic each day. got it. lol.
11 0 ReplyI deleted Facebook from my phone the day they separated it from messenger. That infuriated me. They later even made it impossible to use the mobile website to view messages. I’ve since deleted Facebook entirely.
6 0 ReplyI really like how they are two separate apps. I don't want to have to open FB just to read a message.

Unless something has changed in the last 5 years or so, their Messenger app was by far the worst offender. If the app is even just installed on your phone, they are 100% harvesting all of the data on the device.

8 0 ReplyInstagram app. AKA Facebook owned. AKA Meta owned. AKA zuckerfuck owned.

7 0 ReplyAh this must be part of their federated project P92...
If it is, I hope all instances, whether they are mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, etc etc... Defederate from it.
6 0 ReplyCan I block an instance myself or do I have to join one that blocks Meta?
3 0 ReplyThe P stands for project
3 0 ReplyThe P stands for "Piss off, Zuck".

No thank you.
5 0 ReplyAs janky as the fediverse apps may still be, there is no way I’m popping into that beta.

11 0 Replyyhea atleast his work
5 0 ReplyGood point. I was thinking overall, but you're right, Zuck's the social media horse to bet on.

One of the most annoying things about Twitter is all the Elon dickriders who are always getting bumped to the top of threads because they’re the only ones paying for Twitter Blue
6 0 ReplyLol, I didn't know this was a thing. (I'm not on Twitter, but I am on Facebook, though it wasn't an intentional decision, it's just where my friends were).

I guess Facebook and Instagram didn’t completely lui themselves yet? That’s already better than Twitter lol

I'll never install a meta app on my phone. I'll stick with Mastodon, thanks.
2 0 ReplyInterestingly this app isn't on the Play Store yet.
2 0 ReplyThere is literally zero privacy on that app. They track everything.
2 0 ReplyIs this like instagram that can also show posts from Mastodon or what's special about this? If you're looking for Twitter alternative why not just go to Mastodon directly?
2 0 ReplyThe only Twitter alternative I want to fail more than Twitter
1 0 ReplyNot available in the EU. I hope it stays like that.
