In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

What I don't understand is why people wound even want to use this app...

What possible appeal could it have?

[–] DrZaious@lemmy.world 84 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Using Threads knowing it's a product of Zuck, is like voting for Trump in 2024 cause he wore a different style suit.

You say that, but if he went out on stage in a pink sequins suit with assless chaps because it would somehow "own the libs", a tragically high number of people would be all over that.

The Proud Boys leader fucked a dildo to own the libs. So you're not wrong.

Oh God I forgot about that lmao, what a fucking idiot. I wonder how many of his fellow Proud Boys tried it out too 🤣

Bro, put one up mine too! Come on man we gotta own them!

Remember kids; assless chaps don't exist, it's just chaps. If they had asses, they'd be pants!

As a member of the local #42069 Union of Chapless Chaps, I waggle my fingers and blow a raspberry in solidarity.

Hey, if a bloke happened to be a waist-down amputee, I'd say he's an assless chap. They can exist.

Honestly that would make me sorta like him a bit. Especially if he did Eddie Murphy and wore a purple leather skintight outfit. Stupid sexy trump. Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all. nothing at all.
