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 😐

      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?
