In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like “headphone status” and “screen density.”

    Using Threads knowing it’s a product of Zuck, is like voting for Trump in 2024 cause he wore a different style suit.

      The best comparison I saw:

      Threads is Romney. Twitter is trump.

      Romney can come across as downright sane in a lot of situations. Yeah, he is a batshit loon and sometimes says stuff, but mostly he has “decorum”. Whereas trump/musk are 5 seconds away from masturbating on stage while screaming about hitler. But at the end of the day? They all vote the same.

      You say that, but if he went out on stage in a pink sequins suit with assless chaps because it would somehow “own the libs”, a tragically high number of people would be all over that.

        The Proud Boys leader fucked a dildo to own the libs. So you’re not wrong.

        Remember kids; assless chaps don’t exist, it’s just chaps. If they had asses, they’d be pants!

          As a member of the local #42069 Union of Chapless Chaps, I waggle my fingers and blow a raspberry in solidarity.

          Hey, if a bloke happened to be a waist-down amputee, I’d say he’s an assless chap. They can exist.

        Honestly that would make me sorta like him a bit. Especially if he did Eddie Murphy and wore a purple leather skintight outfit. Stupid sexy trump. Feels like I’m wearing nothing at all. nothing at all.
