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?

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.

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.
