Will people here use/try Meta’s #threads when available? Would love to know the reasons or if it would be just for fun/curiosity.

The amount of data collected is insane imo.

      It would first take all your clothes and then read your mind. Then it will make you accept COokies and figure out your height, weight, gender, friends and family. After all that it will finally work but it extuingishes the wrong fire

    I think I’m a bit of an outlier here, because I tried it (I already had an IG account) - but the bombardment of influencer-types, big-name brands, and having zero-control over my feed gave me more than enough reasons to leave for good.

    Zero interest whatsoever. The only way i’d see them is when people post their shit elsewhere and it’s worth seeing.

    I only ever visited twitter to see content posted by people that was cross shared elsewhere. I have zero interest in utilizing platforms similar to it and would prefer something in the same style as reddit because it allows for everything - self sites with selfposting, interest based sites where you talk about similar topics, and also generalist sites.

    I just can’t help it when local news happens and it’s linked to a sub and the source is what it is.

    Of course not, what’s the point? Fediverse (Mastodon, PixelFed, Lemmy) is fine and dandy for me!

    it’s kinda weird to me that some people are ?excited? about it. it’s Meta, it’s the Zuck Suck. it’s a twatter clone, and we all know how’s that going after another rich twat took it over, and isn’t it already full of the “crazies”? like to me, it has all the hallmarks of being just another soulless cash grab by another megacorp to take twatter’s place, not that it’s surprising. so it’s a resounding no from me.

    Hell no, I’ll be avoiding it like the plague, just like the rest of facecuck’s services.
