In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like “headphone status” and “screen density.”

    What I don’t understand is why people wound even want to use this app…

    What possible appeal could it have?

      Using Threads knowing it’s a product of Zuck, is like voting for Trump in 2024 cause he wore a different style suit.

        You say that, but if he went out on stage in a pink sequins suit with assless chaps because it would somehow “own the libs”, a tragically high number of people would be all over that.

          The Proud Boys leader fucked a dildo to own the libs. So you’re not wrong.

      “Okay so it’s basically Twitter, but with like… Facebook features…” Is literally a joke I have made about annoying app ideas people have when you tell them you’re a software developer.

      I have made this joke a few times, because it killed every time.

      I’m stunned. Out of material, and stunned.

        Had a dude tell me he wanted to ‘disrupt’ social media by creating a LinkedIn alternative that allowed posting videos.

        He just needed a couple ‘techies’ like me to get it off the ground.

        Haven’t heard from him in a while. I hope rehab worked out for him.
