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.

@clifff 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.

@MsHearthWitch @clifff Maybe it want to know if you're financially and healthwise doing ok so when it's tucking you in bed at night it can tell you "Hey it's gonna be ok"
