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.

Meta is just Facebook trying to hide their awful reputation under a new name. I will never call them Meta.

I'll be damned if I'm going to use any more of their spy products than I have to, too.

This is the reason I call my quest 2 VR headset my "oculus" or "Oculus quest 2" because that's the original company name. Unfortunately that headset is the only reason I have a Facebook account, but I never use Facebook and it's minimally linked to me at all, doesn't even have my real name like they wanted. In fact, the only qualm I had about getting it was the Facebook account requirement, everything else about it is great besides that
