Zuck wants to know your location

It's a lot of Info but knowing it's planning on using the Fediverse is pretty cool, Glad that everyone should be able to use there own platform / application that they prefer using. Sure a lot of people might end up using Threads due to it being 'Main Stream' but if people on things such as Lemmy & Masterdon can access all the features that Threads and other platforms are wanting to add in, then I see this as a win.

1 permission short of asking for the soul of your first born...

They're the same as for Facebook and Instagram and since this one is perhaps most geared towards existing Instagram users, there won't be much more data given because you've probably already done it.

oh.... I saw a meme about this and thought it was just a joke.

As much as I dislike Zuck, Mastodon will not scale to millions of users. Normies need their thing too. I don't use Twitter but I do like to view Twitter-like posts for news. If BlueSky or Threads go mainstream, that's good for normies.

Yeah, he's a big fan of access. May as well just make an extra category marked "everything".

This is why I ditched Facebook many years ago. The first time they started to change their TOS and privacy stuff I noped out.

yeah, that's why i'm making another account on Threads. i'm super excited for Threads though. large social networks are good for some things that Mastodon/Lemmy/etc will never be good at, by design.

if i had to pick a single platform to use, it'd be Mastodon. but i don't have to pick a single platform.
