Seriously I am already struggling to get meta out of my life enough to sign in to a new service with them.

To this day I have refused to download messenger for mobile since "needing it" is totally bullshit since you can just hit "view desktop site" in Chrome mobile. Won't ever get this bs either.

Can I post here from this instance?

Yes, your single Fediverse account created at one Lemmy instance can post, comment, vote on other Lemmy instances

I was somewhat optimistic about this app given that they were embracing federation, felt like an important milestone like when AOL had to stick a full featured web browser in their app. But this is just gross. Don't want to be a data slut for Zuck.

What not even call logs? Lame

Where do I sign?!

[–] CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago

The unfortunate bit is that most people still on Instagram/FB won't care and will happily use it.

[–] A_S_B@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 2 years ago

Nah thanks. I´m happy in mastodon and lemmy. Also already have whatsapp, instagram and facebook don't need any other app from meta.

Can't Musk and Zuck just fight instead?

How invasive is this really when compared to the first party Twitter app?

[–] Oddball76779@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

Dont have Instagram or Facebook won't be getting this either.

Hackers/script kiddies must be having a heck of a party right now.
