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 😑

    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?
