    Let me know when I can check it out without owning an iPhone. Web access would be fine.

    Doesn’t strike me as a company that cares about openness if they are being that exclusive.

    For that matter how will federation work with them showing ads and having paid posts like they promise (to ‘reward the creators’)?

    Techcrunch is mostly a PR release website. I wouldn’t trust a thing about new companies and products that’s featured on there.

      They used to cover tech more generally, but they did switch to mostly only covering startups these days. But I’m not sure what here you don’t want to trust, it’s on the reader to evaluate the product.

    Lemmy users will cancel this for not being hardwired to defederate with Threads :^)
