$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
both want as much money as possible and screw over their users for it
only difference is musk screws their users by making the app absolute ASS and zuck just steals your data
You can choose loud and dangerous, or quiet and more dangerous.
Perhaps. Maybe even probably. But possibly not—it’s rumored to have been in the works for quite some time.
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.
Even then, I’m not sure what makes that so great. Looks like what someone came up with on a doodle.
I’m just confused why it’s shaped like a 6 to be quite honest
They used the other style of ‘a’ to make the @ symbol look more thread like.
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.
Instagram is still cool with the kids, which is why this is an “Instagram app” and not a “Facebook app” or a “Meta app”.
They can kiss my ass. Only Meta product I use is messenger and that’s only because my wife insists on using it.
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.
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.
I really like how they are two separate apps. I don’t want to have to open FB just to read a message.
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.
Logo looks like amogus…
No, thank you. Lemmy is where I’m at and will be.
Oh goody. Another way I can ignore farcebook.
Instagram app. AKA Facebook owned. AKA Meta owned. AKA zuckerfuck owned.
No 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.
Can I block an instance myself or do I have to join one that blocks Meta?
The P stands for project
The P stands for “Piss off, Zuck”.
The “P” stands for: Please for god’s sake keep the Zuck far away from us and protect us from the meta virus. We want a free space in the internet where we can shitpost and be free without being surveilled and where money is not the most important thing. But yes, I like your summary.

I read elsewhere they are using a whitelist to only federate with the big mastodon instances.
No thank you.
It’s Zuck better than Musk?
In terms of managing a social media sites, yes…
yhea atleast his work
Good point. I was thinking overall, but you’re right, Zuck’s the social media horse to bet on.
One of the most annoying things about Twitter is all the Elon dickriders who are always getting bumped to the top of threads because they’re the only ones paying for Twitter Blue
Lol, I didn’t know this was a thing. (I’m not on Twitter, but I am on Facebook, though it wasn’t an intentional decision, it’s just where my friends were).
I guess Facebook and Instagram didn’t completely lui themselves yet? That’s already better than Twitter lol
As janky as the fediverse apps may still be, there is no way I’m popping into that beta.
There is literally zero privacy on that app. They track everything.
I’ll never install a meta app on my phone. I’ll stick with Mastodon, thanks.
