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 actually pretty interested in pixelfed, but for now I have three new social media I am trying to learn (kbin, lemmy, mastodon.)

I mostly have instagram as a means of communication with a few key people. It’s also kind of my anchor into “mainstream” social media.

I like microblogging but I prefer a text-first approach; I generally try to avoid using it other than as a messaging app. Lately I’ve been posting a lot on my side account (which is just pictures of my pet snails.) When I do scroll on my main I like my friends’ content (their selfies and art) and I follow a few of my favorite personalities as well (drag queens, local restaurants, Bake Off contestants, etc.)

Interesting thanks for sharing! I can see how that could be useful for friends that only post that kind of content. Hopefully there will be a push with Threads to get that more accessible in other platforms too.
