Personally I've tried staying away from Meta services, ain't no way a Mastodon/Twitter clone is going to steal more of my data
@BluDood @headzine lol for some reason, i can't seem to be able to delete facebook from my phone.
What device do you have? Some cheap Android phones may have "advertisements" which can reinstall some apps after deletion, but you should be able to disable that
@BluDood S10+. I was able to disable it. But i can't uninstall the app...that's just weird
Oh yeah that's weird, maybe contact support or something
That’s normal for Samsung. They have had built in undeletable apps for years now. You can disable them but can’t delete them unless you root the phone.
It was one of the big reasons I switched away from Samsung to Pixel, and then eventually over to Apple entirely.
Fediverse data is open to basically anyone. This means while you're not gaining privacy you are de-commodifying all of it as well as your product use experiance.
