i don't know why anyone would want to go from something as bad as twitter to a Facebook owned twitter

When Instagram replacement on Fediverse? Fediverse also needs youtube replacement. Lets go all the way and hit these greedy mfers where it hurts. Unfortunetly my dev skills are poor, but I can offer moral support.

I know meta is shit anyways, but what is the idea behind their Twitter competitor, like what is their selling point?

Is there anything left where they don’t want any permission? Ooof

Sensitive Info, Health Data? õÔ

Financial Info, Identifiers, Sensitive Info... Woudn't it be easier just to give them my wallet and passport.

They misspelled their service, should be: threats (to your privacy).

User: So how many permissions does your app need?

Threads: Yes!

Meta is sickening. You have to have it for promoting events, artists and such, but it’s toxic and needs to be replaced.

As a music artist, I don’t know how to avoid platforms like Instagram and such while still promoting my art.

Meta knows they can’t fix their terrible privacy record so they might as well milk it.

People complain about Lemmy's privacy policy, but... I mean... gestures

Sadly people will still jump there. It will eventually overtake Mastodon in numbers because people are dependent on the convenience of walled gardens.

Is that.. all of them??? Lmao

Health and Fitness

Dude I have a step counting app that doesn't even need that shit. It just goes off the gyro. Definitely have no reason to be giving a social media app access to that shit.

1 permission short of asking for the soul of your first born...

Because this information is very valuable to advertisers who want to target to customer base. If Meta sells them the users who happen to be X, Y, and Z and also happen to be searching recently for a similar product, Boom they’ve got themselves a likely customer. Much easier than advertising to the masses and hoping 0.1% will bite.

It’s all about discreet money making. The advertisers and Meta only care about how to make money off you.

No, this is the data they would like to collect from those foolish enough to grant it.

That's gonna be a NOPE for me, chief.

99% of apps are just a data miner placed in front of a website.

They're the same as for Facebook and Instagram and since this one is perhaps most geared towards existing Instagram users, there won't be much more data given because you've probably already done it.

Can I post here from this instance?

edit: cool

What else could be „other data“ if the rest is basically everything ? o_o
