I have never (and will never) use Threads. This ad on Facebook shows a screenshot clearly depicting someone having commented on a photo of mine that doesn’t exist. Deceptive, garbage marketing practices from a deceptive garbage tech company. It’s extremely easy to see a tech-illiterate person creating a Threads account just to see what photo of them is on there and who is commenting on it.
And before anyone mentions it, yes I use Facebook. Very minimally. My entire family lives thousands of miles away and Facebook is all I have to feel connected with them.
Like the other person said, blockers on iOS don’t block in-app ads for the most part (in my experience). I do use AdGuard for what it’s worth and the only thing I’m raw dogging is my wife.
Try nextdns (ie. Addblock at the DNS level). It won’t work for facebook. But works for most apps.
But does nextdns work for his wife?
