Meta is starting to ramp up its growth-hacking tactics for Threads in a bid to boost engagement on the Twitter competitor.

      I was just about to say either deleting your account or not using the service is an opt-out, but you beat me to it.

    Does that matter? Facebook, Insta and Threads are all owned by the same company.

    Why shouldn’t they merge them all together? Gmail sends appointments, flights, etc to Google Calendar. Should I be outraged by that too?

    If you’re still oversharing on Facebook at this point, you know what you’re getting into. Even those that post that nonsense “I do NOT give Facebook permission” spam that highlights everyone vulnerable to other scams.

      I don’t see any ads for threads, because I haven’t used Facebook for like 5 years now lol

      You should try actually reading the article.

      The subject is Threads users having their posts shown on Facebook. So they don’t need to be using Facebook. Only Threads.

      That being said, it’s sound advice for all Meta products.

    I feel like if you’re still willing to use anything Meta has touched, you have no excuse to be surprised by this kind of thing.
