Downloads Friendica.

mur, pick a server that doesn't federate with Threads (Meta), I suppose. First one I saw, sorting for English was My-Place.social, "We federate with Threads." https://dir.friendica.social/servers/en

Edit: Fixed link

That link returns a 404.

Yeah like... What's the point of using xitter/meta alternatives if the servers are still going to federate with them? I'd use the normal apps if I wanted that.

Lol, lmao. Shitty apps and company.

how does this affect privacy?

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Privacy-focused people have one more reason to abandon these companies altogether, so overall privacy should increase and improve.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 2 points 6 hours ago

Privacy focused people don't use any Facebook shit in the first place. So nothing's changing here.

Greedy companies will just ramp up their greed.
