$5 says they are nowhere near ready to release but higher ups decided to anyways to take advantage of Twitter getting destroyed
- i hate zuck but i think i hate elon even more, i'll enjoy to see the war
  
  Zuck doesn't care that he's making the world worse. Elon actually wants to make the world worse. That's the difference really

No thank you.

Instagram is still cool with the kids, which is why this is an "Instagram app" and not a "Facebook app" or a "Meta app".

Fuck Facebook, but I must admit that’s a snazzy logo.
- Just looks like a scribbled attempt at an @ to me, but to each their own
  
  I mean… isn’t that sort of the point though? It’s supposed to look like an @ symbol that looks like it’s being thread/is a thread.

Not available in the EU. I hope it stays like that.

Holy hell, we have early access phone apps now?
- Not even early acces, literally just a preorder so it gets downloaded ahtomatically...
- Weve had for a while now.. Testflight on iOS for example.
- Has been a thing for years now. Especially for games.

There is literally zero privacy on that app. They track everything.

Instagram app. AKA Facebook owned. AKA Meta owned. AKA zuckerfuck owned.
No thanks

I'll never install a meta app on my phone. I'll stick with Mastodon, thanks.

Ah this must be part of their federated project P92...
If it is, I hope all instances, whether they are mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, etc etc... Defederate from it.
- I read elsewhere they are using a whitelist to only federate with the big mastodon instances.

Interestingly this app isn't on the Play Store yet.

It's Zuck better than Musk?
- In terms of managing a social media sites, yes..

They can kiss my ass. Only Meta product I use is messenger and that’s only because my wife insists on using it.
- Unless something has changed in the last 5 years or so, their Messenger app was by far the worst offender. If the app is even just installed on your phone, they are 100% harvesting all of the data on the device.
- I deleted Facebook from my phone the day they separated it from messenger. That infuriated me. They later even made it impossible to use the mobile website to view messages. I’ve since deleted Facebook entirely.

  you're only allowing yourself and your wife, the woman you love most in the entire world, a little arsenic each day. got it. lol.
