I used to say those same things, now I basically just keep messenger as a job requirement but the rest of it can F off

marketplace is nothing but spam and scam, and those "friends" the only ones I care to talk to, use discord, or regular phone text

Isn't messenger app the worst of them all?

[–] SDK@midwest.social 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. Messenger collects detailed information about every device on every WiFi network you connect to, including MAC addresses, IP addresses, OS and version, device names, open ports, duration of DHCP lease on each device, and much more. It does this every time you open the app, and on every WiFi network you connect to.
