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.
One word : enshittification
Are you going to try Facebook's threads FTFY
Hell no!
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.
No, no I don't think I will...
Absolutely not, Meta can get screwed. The sooner the company crashes and burn, the better. It caused too much damage worldwide.
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.
Not released in EU. So can't ;(. Wait, that might be a good thing?
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.
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.
lol
lmao
I believe the phrase ""Oh FUCK no" has never been more appropriate.
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.
Hell no
No. I don't even have a facebook/meta/instagram account. fuck Zuck.
Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
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.
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.
nope, everyone I follow has moved to mastadon.
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 😅
Thanks, I'm good. I don't even want to know what that is.
Not even available here in Italy, so no. But don’t care at all, all these massive companies should just die
That’s a hard “no” from me.
Nope
The zuck can go suck a fuck. Dude must be salivating at how much more data Meta can steal off people with Threads
No
Only reason I would consider threads is to post the anti fedi pact and make it harder for them to succeed with turning our safe haven into their corporate dystopia.
Good timing from them, but no, I don't like Twitter/mastodon style.
I think this is something which makes kbin pretty interesting. It supports threads and microblogs, so it can serve both purposes. I have a Mastodon that I post to once every few years, but I think I might post or at least reply more to people if I could just click between threads and blogs on the fly.
But yeah, for that and all of the other reasons, Threads is out. No interest whatsoever.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
