    So you use Instagramm but are concerned that Threads collects too much data? Next you are going to tell me that you don’t use Facebook because you don’t trust the company behind it?

      Sigh, I just realized after I posted this comment that Instagram collects the same data as Threads. I am a dumb dumb.

      I stopped using Facebook on my phone because of the drain it had on battery. I have a new phone which manages it better and it’s back on my phone again, but, like, who even uses FB these days ahead of other apps? Anyway, I still use it for birthdays (which is why I had Frost installed before Facebook broke it), but I miss the days you could just add Facebook birthdays to Google Calendar. Facebook killed that too.

      Instagram is allowed in the EU and Threads is not, suggesting that Threads may be worse for privacy. And it’s not easy to convince everyone you know to switch to a different platform.
