Automatically creating a shadow account for everyone on Instagram?

Even allowing people to follow that account?

Sounds like they really wanted to push Threads out the door in a big way.

I wanna leave whatsapp so bad but I'm trapped :(

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

at least you get to use whatsapp. i happen to be bound to the only two countries on the damn planet that near exclusively use facebook messenger for everything including corporate business support. i'd take whatsapp over facebook messenger any day.

of course, i'd take neither given the choice. but still.

What two countries are those so I can avoid them?

Same here. I installed signal but only managed to convince 2 people to use it so far. Everyone else is on WhatsApp
