Meta’s Threads app has a major flaw: you can’t delete your Threads account without deleting your Instagram account.
@CocoCyclone Ha!
wow really
Once in you cannot get out, or you lose your whole family and friends, like some religions.
That doesn’t sound cultish at all.
/s
So basically the Niantic approach of tying platforms together with one account but not telling anybody.
“Flaw”
I feel like this sounds worse than it is because you also don’t create a Threads account, per se, in the first place. You use your Instagram account. If you want to use Threads, you activate your Threads profile; if you want to stop using Threads, you deactivate your Threads profile. Your Instagram account is still your Instagram account and exists independent of Threads. If you want a totally separate account for Threads, you need to create a second Instagram account for it.
Yep, this is just pure sensationalism, problems with Meta/Threads aside.
I guess I better delete my Instagram!
Don’t forget you can request your instagram zip archive and import all the posts (backdated too) into a pixelfed account :D
Thanks! I probably won’t go as far as importing… oh who am I kidding, I’ll do that too!
Jeez, I remember when Instagram was a fun photo editing app that you could use without even creating an account.
Cool, so it’s literally the opposite of Mastodon
Once they federate, how will it get deleted?
This is messed up. You’d think it would be as easy as turning on or off. It should be that way! This guarantees that regardless of functionality and/or popularity, if users tire of the platform, Zucks still maintains their account unless you decide to ditch both.
It’s not a flaw. It’s a feature.
Gonna be pretty hard to delete once they federate…
I don’t have either, so i’m good! Being in this Fediverse sure makes things easier. /dimplesmile
Just delete all of that shit.
