$5 says they are nowhere near ready to release but higher ups decided to anyways to take advantage of Twitter getting destroyed
-
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.

Holy hell, we have early access phone apps now?
-
Not even early acces, literally just a preorder so it gets downloaded ahtomatically...
-
Weve had for a while now.. Testflight on iOS for example.
-
Has been a thing for years now. Especially for games.
-
-
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.
-
you're only allowing yourself and your wife, the woman you love most in the entire world, a little arsenic each day. got it. lol.
-
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.

Logo looks like amogus..
-
Oh goody. Another way I can ignore farcebook.
-
Instagram app. AKA Facebook owned. AKA Meta owned. AKA zuckerfuck owned.
No thanks
-
Ah this must be part of their federated project P92...
If it is, I hope all instances, whether they are mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin, etc etc... Defederate from it.
-
As janky as the fediverse apps may still be, there is no way I’m popping into that beta.
-
It's Zuck better than Musk?
-
In terms of managing a social media sites, yes..
-
yhea atleast his work
-
Good point. I was thinking overall, but you're right, Zuck's the social media horse to bet on.
-
-
One of the most annoying things about Twitter is all the Elon dickriders who are always getting bumped to the top of threads because they’re the only ones paying for Twitter Blue
-
Lol, I didn't know this was a thing. (I'm not on Twitter, but I am on Facebook, though it wasn't an intentional decision, it's just where my friends were).
-
-
I guess Facebook and Instagram didn’t completely lui themselves yet? That’s already better than Twitter lol
-
-
No thank you.
-
Is this like instagram that can also show posts from Mastodon or what's special about this? If you're looking for Twitter alternative why not just go to Mastodon directly?
-
There is literally zero privacy on that app. They track everything.
-
The only Twitter alternative I want to fail more than Twitter
-
Interestingly this app isn't on the Play Store yet.
-
Not available in the EU. I hope it stays like that.
-
I'll never install a meta app on my phone. I'll stick with Mastodon, thanks.
