Anyone else check it out? They want access to everything. And there is no website, only an app. Yikes.

    Yeah I saw the list posted somewhere, had a chuckle, and went on my merry way. There’s a reason this kraken of an app is banned in the EU.

    A somewhat tech savvy user can probably use App Ops and Storage Isolation to restrict all of the data and spoof the rest, but luckily I don’t even feel tempted. Never got the appeal of Twitter, can’t be bothered to even try Mastodon, and Threads, just no.

    Also, 78 MBs for a Twitter clone is ridiculous (and alarming)! Twitter asks for 36 MBs while Mastodon only 1.6 MBs!

    Yeah, it’s why I started staying away from the official social media or company apps.

      Yeah. The insistence of Facebook to use their Messenger app on mobile is a big reason I’ve always been suspicious of it.
