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.”

Trackers, trackers and ol’ Zucc’s roboface galore.

    This will completely empty out Twitter. It’s just like that scene on Godzilla when both monsters are fighting and the science dude just says to “let them fight”.

      Yeah, kinda. The crowd that cares move to Mastodon, that crowd that chases moves to Threads.

      Now, there is still value in Twitter as long as content creators and companies post there. When we see companies pull out and content creators en masse setting up shop somewhere else the end is coming. Huge communites that depend on being huge rarely if ever can return from a real downwards spiral.

        You’re already seeing a lot of the celebrities and brands move over. I imagine their replies being filled with normal people rather than the blue check crypto nerds is a pretty big draw.
