        Zuck doesn’t care that he’s making the world worse. Elon actually wants to make the world worse. That’s the difference really

          both want as much money as possible and screw over their users for it

          only difference is musk screws their users by making the app absolute ASS and zuck just steals your data

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

    Is 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?

    Not available in the EU. I hope it stays like that.

        I 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.

        Even then, I’m not sure what makes that so great. Looks like what someone came up with on a doodle.

    Ah 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.

      I read elsewhere they are using a whitelist to only federate with the big mastodon instances.

          The “P” stands for: Please for god’s sake keep the Zuck far away from us and protect us from the meta virus. We want a free space in the internet where we can shitpost and be free without being surveilled and where money is not the most important thing.

    They can kiss my ass. Only Meta product I use is messenger and that’s only because my wife insists on using it.

      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.

      I 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.

        I really like how they are two separate apps. I don’t want to have to open FB just to read a message.

      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

        Lol, 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).

    Instagram is still cool with the kids, which is why this is an “Instagram app” and not a “Facebook app” or a “Meta app”.
