Pretty sure you use an Instagram account to login to Threads, so that makes sense.
By that logic you’d have to delete your Google account if you want to delete any account for which you have used Google to login.
…do you not? To delete the data I mean, not just to make it appear deleted to everyone without access to the Google/Meta user database.
If you want to delete something that is part of your Google account, then yes. Like your Gmail address. But not if you want to delete your account in an entirely different service, that only uses Google for the login. I guess the problem is, that Threads is perceived (and maybe also marketed) as an independent service while it’s apparently just part of your Instagram account.
Honestly are you shocked?
You could say it comes with some threads attached.
I’ve never used Facebook, & have their entire ad ecosystem blocked at my router. It’s wonderful.
And people are seriously considering federating with Threads if it implements ActivityPub. Things have been so crazy recently that I think If Satan existed and started a Lemmy instance, probably there would still be people arguing in good faith for federating with him.
