He is really after making it an "everything app" which nobody uses. Anyone here really has twitter or Facebook installed on their phone ?
- The average lemmy user maybe not, but year hundreds of millions of people still use twitter, and billions use Facebook.
  
  Started using mastodon recently, but I still surf twitter to see what my friends are tweeting about.
- Deleted the app from my phone the day Elmo took control. Still use it via Firefox with Tampermonkey and Control Panel for Twitter, I only see stuff from those I follow, and anyone with a paid subscription is blocked. Tolerable like this.
  
  The PWA is decently tolerable, but at least on Android 14 the Firefox one has some annoying visual issues pretty frequently. That said, anything is better than installing the actual app and giving that POS even the smallest amount of access to my phone's info.
