Dude I have a step counting app that doesn't even need that shit. It just goes off the gyro. Definitely have no reason to be giving a social media app access to that shit.
I was somewhat optimistic about this app given that they were embracing federation, felt like an important milestone like when AOL had to stick a full featured web browser in their app. But this is just gross. Don't want to be a data slut for Zuck.

To this day I have refused to download messenger for mobile since "needing it" is totally bullshit since you can just hit "view desktop site" in Chrome mobile. Won't ever get this bs either.

Seriously I am already struggling to get meta out of my life enough to sign in to a new service with them.

Yeah I'm gonna say no thanks.
"sensitive information" I think...a good chunk of this is already sensitive information what else do you want T.T

Hackers/script kiddies must be having a heck of a party right now.
How invasive is this really when compared to the first party Twitter app?
