      Seeing how many people rushed to use threads and people are just excited that X is there too wouldn’t surprise me. I don’t understand why the average person is fear mongering tiktok when the official social media apps choose to use have so many sketchy permissions. Reddit too now set to try to become the next Meta with their IPO.

      I can understand privacy focused people who try to avoid them due not liking them for the same reasons they don’t like meta, but the average person singling out tiktok as they use Facebook, Instagram, and threads is not one that makes sense to me.
