          I think a lot of those are just people who want to be able to talk to their non-techy friends within the fediverse, but who also either haven’t yet realized the full scale of Threads’ privacy overreach, or they don’t give a shit/think it’s irrelevant since they don’t plan to use threads themselves.

    I was gonna say, it looks like the only thing they don’t own when you say yes is your image and likeness, but they’ve probably already extracted that from your IG account too.

    LOL. LMAO, even.

    One of my coworkers asked me yesterday if I was going to try Threads, and I pointed out how it was illegal in the EU because of all the data it gathers. I’m good.

      Are you going to tell your coworker about mastadon if they don’t already know of it?

        They know, but aren’t interested. They know I use Mastodon, which is why they asked if I was interested in Threads.

    A lot of it duplicates across categories, but I left everything in so that you can assess each category for yourself.
