Downloads Friendica.
mur, pick a server that doesn't federate with Threads (Meta), I suppose. First one I saw, sorting for English was My-Place.social, "We federate with Threads." https://dir.friendica.social/servers/en
Edit: Fixed link
That link returns a 404.
TY!
Yeah like... What's the point of using xitter/meta alternatives if the servers are still going to federate with them? I'd use the normal apps if I wanted that.
Lol, lmao. Shitty apps and company.

Greedy companies will just ramp up their greed.
