Let’s hope this fight goes on for a long time and neither of them touch Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse

They have plan to adopt the same standard "in future". That mean we have plenty of time to check the beast from afar. Not perfect but not an immediate "thread" either.

The problem right now is that ask a s***load of personal information to use the app and if later you want to leave, you can't unless you erase your Instagram account too.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
