This may be a dumb question, but why use an open source social media tool if you’re on platforms that are pretty much the antithesis of being open source and private? (Instagram, X, Tiktok, etc)
Well one advantage is you can just use this tool instead of needing to use each website or app individually, it saves a lot of time that way.
Also might as well have one less company collecting data on you, vs using a commercial closed source social media management tool.
