    But also Facebook has never killed 3rd party apps because (to my knowledge) there hasn’t ever been any, and they don’t rate limit their users. They also at least pretended to care about the right wing propoganda plaguing their platform, unlike Elon did. They also also haven’t locked being a recommended person on someomes feed behind a pay wall.

    Facebook does shady shit, but the difference is it’s shit that most of their users don’t notice.

      There have been third party Facebook clients, there used to be a few back in the day. Facebook didn’t actively kill them, they just coincidentally kept changing their API in arbitrary ways without telling anyone. Eventually it just became not worth it for the devs.
