Zuck doesn’t care that he’s making the world worse. Elon actually wants to make the world worse. That’s the difference really

both want as much money as possible and screw over their users for it

only difference is musk screws their users by making the app absolute ASS and zuck just steals your data

You can choose loud and dangerous, or quiet and more dangerous.

Perhaps. Maybe even probably. But possibly not—it’s rumored to have been in the works for quite some time.

Fuck Facebook, but I must admit that’s a snazzy logo.

Just looks like a scribbled attempt at an @ to me, but to each their own

I mean… isn’t that sort of the point though? It’s supposed to look like an @ symbol that looks like it’s being thread/is a thread.

Even then, I’m not sure what makes that so great. Looks like what someone came up with on a doodle.

I’m just confused why it’s shaped like a 6 to be quite honest

They used the other style of ‘a’ to make the @ symbol look more thread like.

Instagram is still cool with the kids, which is why this is an “Instagram app” and not a “Facebook app” or a “Meta app”.

They can kiss my ass. Only Meta product I use is messenger and that’s only because my wife insists on using it.

I deleted Facebook from my phone the day they separated it from messenger. That infuriated me. They later even made it impossible to use the mobile website to view messages. I’ve since deleted Facebook entirely.

I really like how they are two separate apps. I don’t want to have to open FB just to read a message.

Unless something has changed in the last 5 years or so, their Messenger app was by far the worst offender. If the app is even just installed on your phone, they are 100% harvesting all of the data on the device.
