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.

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.

Only if I can burn them

This is going to be popular in places that are already deep on the Facebook ecosystem, such as India. But I really hope it doesn't everywhere else.

Only if they pay me ;)

Depends on how many of those data slurping categories I can disable on iPhone. I would at least like to try it.

I am. I'm a digital marketer by trade. Gotta try everything. Am I going to stick with it? Who knows!

I boycott all the products of big corporations as much as possible. I'm not even slightly tempted to try Threads.

[–] Kevnyon@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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’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.

In case you're curious about it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.barcelona

I find it weird that no one is linking it. I literally had to find it on APKMirror.

I can`t, even if I wanted to. Thanks, EU!

[–] ErwinLottemann@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I won't but I also cannot, because EU and stuff...

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 2 points 2 years ago

Considering I'm already an Instagram user and I would like this platform better than Instagram, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't make the trade

[–] envious92@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I think it's exciting. I don't hate Twitter, but a competitor with big money back in that's potentially going to integrate with the fediverse? That's fucking exciting.

Will they actively contribute or fork it? Who knows.

I was curious how it compared to Mastodon. It didn't.
