Depends on how many of those data slurping categories I can disable on iPhone. I would at least like to try it.
I was somewhat optimistic about this app given that they were embracing federation, felt like an important milestone like when AOL had to stick a full featured web browser in their app. But this is just gross. Don’t want to be a data slut for Zuck.
Yeah, I miss all the normies, but it does feel a little gross spending time there now.
Feel like they could have rolled with it
I wish tech companies would do this more. Put a warning or label on it if you have to, but interacting with that early version of the Bing chatbot was the most fun I had with tech in awhile. You don’t have to install a ton of guardrails on everything before it goes out to the public.
This is all on the open web. If they find it useful to create surveillance profiles of fediverse users they will do so, whether we defederate or not. That’s the current price of being on the internet.
