Meta’s new app “Threads” is up pre-order in the App Store. Let’s do a quick check on what data they want from you compared to the official Mastodon app, Mammoth and Ivory. Spoiler: Meta wants to know and track everything about you, and Mastodon doesn’t want anything. #threads

@clifff@shakedown.social Why the fuuuuck does a social media app need to know my financials and health info?! YUCK. ETA: This was not an invitation to reply guys to pile up in my mentions. Go away. No one wants you here.

@clifff@shakedown.social That’s unacceptable. How are they allowed such private information; they should even be allowed to ask for that much

@clifff@shakedown.social if this is a #Mastodon interface? Then #Threads must be blocked from all of #fediverse to prevent our content gets leaked to #meta / #Facebook. Yes, I know everything on fediverse is public and can be easily scraped, but I still wouldn't like Meta to have it on a golden plate without any effort. Also, it is still possible some conversations are not meant to be public. Cc.: @Gargron@mastodon.social
