Technology

Let's see...

• I despise Facebook/Meta.
• I don't want to help Mark Zuckerberg get more money.
• I was never fond of Twitter, either - an interesting concept, poorly executed.
• If I did want a Twitter-ish post feed, there's Mastodon.

So no, I won't be trying out the Zuck's attempt to eat the Muskrat's lunch. Sounds like a gross spectacle no one asked for.

Fuck no.

Definitely not.

I try already but it's a little boring for me, I already had Instagram to talk to my friend so I don't see purpose to use a social media to just write things with the people I already followed in Instagram when I just can send a DM or ask for other social media they use if I don't want to use IG. Its my opinion

Hell no, I'll be avoiding it like the plague, just like the rest of facecuck's services.

Zero interest whatsoever. The only way i'd see them is when people post their shit elsewhere and it's worth seeing.

I only ever visited twitter to see content posted by people that was cross shared elsewhere. I have zero interest in utilizing platforms similar to it and would prefer something in the same style as reddit because it allows for everything - self sites with selfposting, interest based sites where you talk about similar topics, and also generalist sites.

I just can't help it when local news happens and it's linked to a sub and the source is what it is.

No, I don't think I'll try '6'

A friend of mine tried and said that it's basically banning anything lol

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

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.

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.

With all that data it’s collecting?

Negative.

No

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.

No.

• As you pointed out way too many data permissions
• While I'm not in the "everything for-profit companies does is inherently evil" camp, Meta has done some sketchy stuff.
• It's mostly microblogging from what I can tell, and that's best in smaller instances or instances heavily moderated / filtered to feel that way which Threads likely won't be
• It's name, even though it won't really be mixed threads like the name implies, will mess up momentum for the Threadiverse to mean AP actual threaded apps, and terms are hard.
• I'm sure their TOS, privacy policies, or moderation policies aren't going to be any better than other Meta apps.

That being said, I do like:

• They are planning to federate via AP unlike Bluesky
• Meta is trying new things other than VR.

no

No, no I don't think I will...

Not a chance.

No.

nopeee

No

No. Never.

I still don't know what this threads thing even is, aside from being bootleg Twitter...

Hell no

No!!?

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

no

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.
