I keep seeing everyone say their privacy is why they aren’t going to use threads. I don’t think that’s entirely true. I think most of us here have a hatred so deep for meta that even if they made the greatest app on earth, we’d still not use it. So, if threads actually respected your privacy would you use it?
Would you get in the rusty white van with blackened windows if the meth-faced man driving it told you there were puppies inside?
No. Meta can’t be trusted.
Nope. I’m boycotting META not only because of the privacy issues, but because of their history in general. I won’t support such a fucked up corporation.
I would never trust that it would respect my privacy in the first place. Why would anyone think they’re going to turn over a new leaf just because they released a new service?!
I would not use anything Meta: Don’t let Meta metastasize.
Hell no, meta created it.
No, I never liked Twitter or Mastodon anyways. Also, Meta does not respect privacy regardless of what they say.
I never used Twitter, why would I use it’s alternatives?
No, not when I use and prefer Twitter.
No
no.
Wouldn’t even consider it without having control over my timeline.
It’s pretty well established that short-form social media piping you content via a biased algo - e.g. Twitter, TikTok and now Threads - is pretty terrible for your mental health. So, no. I exclude Mastodon from that list as there’s no harmful algo.
Meta has literally caused genocides without recourse.
