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.”
Trackers, trackers and ol’ Zucc’s roboface galore.

Not sure just mildly infuriating 😅
Also infuriating: the number of my friends who have installed this shitty app 😑
And their justification of it.
Edit: since for whatever reason i couldn’t reply to @[email protected], i’ll edit my comment here:
I have no issue with the difference in opinion, but idk, if giving up way more privacy than it needed to run the app doesn’t seems bad to you, i have nothing much to add 😐
what’s their justification?
The usual “that’s basically all social media shrug”, which i agree but then again i don’t really use social media much, and i use sync for reddit.

I refuse to accept its death.
Also you can patch it.
Okay, this is an honest question.
Why do you care? How does it matter at all to you what apps your friends use? How does it affect you?
I can totally understand people valuing their privacy strongly and refusing to use mainstream corporate social media. I can also understand people who don’t care about that and decide that they get more out of it than they give.
Given that people posting on a social network that you’re not on has essentially no effect on you at all beyond a vague bit of FOMO, why does it matter?
And on iOS
Facebook I’m only comfortable using inside a browser for this reason, and not with Chrome either. Something proper like Firefox that can block third party cookies and run it in a container automatically so it can’t follow you around. I need to contain the filth.
What kind of addon do you use to contain the tracking cookies on Firefox? I’d really like to get it too.
