Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
It's as long as a scroll.

TLDR, even if your fb is with your established persona/business name, fb will somehow match the meta data and social graph data and assign your Threads to your actual real name
Damn, it looks very bad and intrusive
What's "health and fitness" supposed to be?
Likely info from the fitness tracker like pedometer or your sleep pattern. Seriously invasive stuff.
What's that about financial info and credit score? That's concerning
I have no idea. Other app that has in app purchase/subscription(like Discord) only request payment info and purchase history, Thread request for more thing that never make any sense. It's incredibly mind boggling people will leap in and think it's okay.
Ok someone did a full list of stuff they're asking to authorize access (iOS I think) https://kbin.social/m/fediverse/t/155304
and here's a link to that post in our instance in case anyone with a monyet account but not a kbin one wants to make a comment
One step short of selling your soul for the privilege of joining their side of the fediverse? Yeah nah fuck that.
They also request your house key and when you're not around.
