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.
I’m still on IG so I’ll have an account by default I guess. I may take a peek to see how they implemented it, but it’s hard to imagine staying.
I'm still waiting for Blue Sky, but at this point its either Mastodon or something else (like Threads) because Blue Sky just seems to be taking an eternity. Something is going to replace Twitter and at this point I just don't know what it will be.
I am. I'm a digital marketer by trade. Gotta try everything. Am I going to stick with it? Who knows!
Hell no.
I'll try it. I don't really care about data privacy very much and neither do a lot of other people until the data receiver is someone they dislike.
How much data is Reddit, Tumblr, Uber, Snapchat, WhatsApp, AirBnB or any other app getting? Who cares as long as I don't hate their CEO.
This is a pretty moronic take. "All of these other companies have already stolen my privacy, so what's one more? It's not like this specific company has helped undermine democracy in a world superpower the last two elections!"
I boycott all the products of big corporations as much as possible. I'm not even slightly tempted to try Threads.
I won't but I also cannot, because EU and stuff...
I said I would never join facebook. Or msn messenger. Or Discord. Or Twitch. Or Twitter. But then everyone and their grandmas started using them. And despite knowing already back then they would use me as the product, I hesitantly joined.
So if they manage to release an EU-legal version, and everyone-ish joins, and mastodon becomes barren, I might join. Again. Its not like they dont know everything about me already.
The cynic in me have realized most people jumps on whatever is advertised to them and is cheap, and call anything that isnt advertised enough or too expensive for "difficult" or "looks stupid". Those who claims ads doesn't work on them are extra prone to jump on anything commercial while downtalking better and free'er options. So we can't win this way.
I can`t, even if I wanted to. Thanks, EU!
Njet.
I’m interested to see how Threads connects with other social media platforms (like Mastodon), but I’m not using an app with such an invasive privacy policy.
Depends on how many of those data slurping categories I can disable on iPhone. I would at least like to try it.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
