You've never watched a romatic movie or chickflick have you?

OP is asking about META's (formerly facebook) Threads app. You're right about kbin, though.
Depends on how secure your seecure network is, but generally speaking I wouldn't allow it. As you said, it's way to broad and gives away control of what is loading and what comes on your network.
I follow AbandonedAmerica on Mastodon (@AbandonedAmerica / https://www.abandonedamerica.us/) and there are some great places on his photographs, so I get what you are saying. The buildings themselves are beautiful and I really like the stories behind them. What the normal people where experiencing.
Holy crap, that's bad. They certainly need to make it one behemoth app for all these permissions to be legit. But otherwise, why do they think people want to use Threads so bad that they agree to use all this. (apparently already 10 million people, if these numbers are legit and not bloated due to link with instagram).

Aah, then I haven't read the article well enough. No those sectors are not likely to have a high percentage of workers from the rust belt/midwest (generalizing here of course).
@stappern That sucks. I have headphones and earphones, both from Sony. The earphones are able to override the connection by going to my phones bluetooth settings.
For the headphones I need to enable bluetooth pairing mode to enable connecting it to another device while the old one is in range. Did you try that?
Further, the answer of apple sucks. When something is sleeping, it shouldn't connect to bluetooth.
@sirboozebum I really hope for the people in all those places that went to shit when the factories got closed, that this will bring income and luck to them.
This is way too dramatic. Mastodon hasn't caved. The mastodon.social instance might federate with META, but it is not said it will. The kbin developer is a tad busy with keeping kbin.social instance running and fixing kbin software. So the silence doesn't mean anything.
Host your own instance and do whatever you want. That way you can be sure what will happen.
Yes you can. You can use the "work" profile and/or use Island (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island) to install multiple versions of an app.
Companies (and spammers) already fucked it up. It's hard to keep your own mailserver of all the big companies black list.
