so more restrictions, cool, interesting but how much they have to do to totaly inject hate in their userbase like facebook did

It's not a restriction, it's user control. You can have them always on (and I suspect that will stay as the default), turn them off, or anything in between.

You just got more tools to control the interface and remove what you don't care about, what's wrong about that?

lol there is no 0 option

this isn’t about user control this is getting ahead of CYA because regulation is likely coming given multiple countries are serious about limiting ages that can access social media

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You mean, no such option in an app? Because at least the article and the post clearly state you can opt for 0.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 weeks ago

and pc web interface and tv interface has no option at all and the app for ios has no 0 option

article is pretty shit if it didn’t test any of these
