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.

My brother in Christ, you’re asking people on Lemmy if they’re going to try meta spyware
Nope. If I wanted something similar to twitter, I would use Mastodon, not Meta’s privacy hell.
Definitely not. I didn’t come to the Fediverse to be under social media companies again.
Almost same take here - but I also understand that there may be some people which would use/try it for whatever reasons.
They can try all day. I will not. Mastodon it is for me.
I wouldn’t try meta’s anything.
I wouldn’t try a meta fire extinguisher if I was on fire.
It would first take all your clothes and then read your mind. Then it will make you accept COokies and figure out your height, weight, gender, friends and family. After all that it will finally work but it extuingishes the wrong fire
Nope. Meta’s business practices are cancer.
Never.
Hell no. I’d like to preserve my peace.
The amount of data collected is so insane that it won’t come out in the EU for now. And I like it that way.
Now these are news for me, thanks for the info.
It doesn’t have to come to EU to get this data though, all it has to do is start federating. I’m really curious how is that all going to work out, legally speaking.
Not totally true, the real value is combining data from different sources, but since the data they get wont have your email /ip/device/contacts etc it will be a lot harder to harvest usefully for advertising. Maybe they will figure out things to use it, but what they can use is already quite public, so they don’t really need to federatie for that
Nope
Not touching that, nope.
Wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole.
I think I’m a bit of an outlier here, because I tried it (I already had an IG account) - but the bombardment of influencer-types, big-name brands, and having zero-control over my feed gave me more than enough reasons to leave for good.
Are you going to try Facebook’s threads FTFY
it’s kinda weird to me that some people are ?excited? about it. it’s Meta, it’s the Zuck Suck. it’s a twatter clone, and we all know how’s that going after another rich twat took it over, and isn’t it already full of the “crazies”? like to me, it has all the hallmarks of being just another soulless cash grab by another megacorp to take twatter’s place, not that it’s surprising. so it’s a resounding no from me.
Nah, fuck that and fuck them
Exactly
