I believe the phrase ""Oh FUCK no" has never been more appropriate.
lol
lmao
Absolutely not, Meta can get screwed. The sooner the company crashes and burn, the better. It caused too much damage worldwide.
No, no I don't think I will...
While I'm on the microblogging side of fedi I'm gonna be staying far away from Threads, I like that there's more attention on ActivityPub now, and they're free to make it if they want, but I just can't see myself using it really.
Hell no!
Not released in EU. So can't ;(. Wait, that might be a good thing?
Are you going to try Facebook's threads FTFY
Nope. Never had a Twitter account either. The whole concept is stupid and just brings a lot of noise from the type of people you'd never hear from in years gone by.
One word : enshittification
Too much data collection for my tastes. That and Facebook have shown. That they don't know how to maintain a healthy and engaging community. It would just become another doom scroll rather than anything interesting. But I'll watch what happens.
I’ll try it.
Contrary to the majority consensus here, I already utilize Instagram so this data has already been collected for years. (An unfortunate “what’s new”)
We’ll see if it catches on at all…it will be nice once we can see “Threads” from Mastodon so that I can use any of the more privacy respecting apps out there, but until then I think it’s worth seeing how things work.
Absolutely, yes. I almost always try the newest networks/apps because I like to see for myself whether I think they're going to be a hit and/or worthwhile.
Can't even install it. (Apple) App store said it's unavailable in my country. Fortunately. I hope it's not just the app which is unavailable.
All the people I know that use Facebook are old(er) people. Not looking forward to old people twitter 😅
nope, everyone I follow has moved to mastadon.
No. I don't even have a facebook/meta/instagram account. fuck Zuck.
Nope
I hate meta and honestly don't think Threads will bring anything new that other fedi software already has. I'm also quite happy with all the software available so don't see a reason to use Threads. I am curious to see if people who previously didn't use the fediverse or found it too confusing etc will like Threads.
Not even available here in Italy, so no. But don’t care at all, all these massive companies should just die
Hell no
I might use it for notifications, which basically what I did with Twitter, follow certain accounts that provided realtime updates on something, like for example game stores for preorders. Basically the alternative to the ,much missing in some pages, RSS.
Commenting, submitting or simply scroll it ,nope, I didn't do it on Twitter except once or twice.
That’s a hard “no” from me.
Thanks, I'm good. I don't even want to know what that is.
Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
No, won't sign up on that privacy nightmare. Though, once it does support ActivityPub, I'll probably follow people who are not on Mastodon yet.
Have never had a Facebook account. Have never had an Instagram account. No, I'm not about to sign up to Threads.
I do have WhatsApp, it's the main messaging app that everyone I know uses, so I don't have much choice.
I hang onto Instagram begrudgingly, definitely won't be trying anything new from Meta.
Nope. As it will just end like reddit or meta. And i dont want anything to do with that
