This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
Installing their app is a good way to get all the entries in Contacts in your mobile sent to them.
The again, anybody who already installed their Facebook, Instagram or Whatsapp apps has nothing to worry about as the deed is already done.
I'd rather eat surstromming.
One word : enshittification
Not released in EU. So can't ;(. Wait, that might be a good thing?
While I'm on the microblogging side of fedi I'm gonna be staying far away from Threads, I like that there's more attention on ActivityPub now, and they're free to make it if they want, but I just can't see myself using it really.
No, no I don't think I will...
Hell no!
lol
lmao
Are you going to try Facebook's threads FTFY
Can't even install it. (Apple) App store said it's unavailable in my country. Fortunately. I hope it's not just the app which is unavailable.
I might use it for notifications, which basically what I did with Twitter, follow certain accounts that provided realtime updates on something, like for example game stores for preorders. Basically the alternative to the ,much missing in some pages, RSS.
Commenting, submitting or simply scroll it ,nope, I didn't do it on Twitter except once or twice.
If their activitypub integration is worth anything at all, you should be able to do all these things without having to leave Lemmy. :)
Absolutely not, Meta can get screwed. The sooner the company crashes and burn, the better. It caused too much damage worldwide.
Hell no
That’s a hard “no” from me.
nope, everyone I follow has moved to mastadon.
I’ll try it.
Contrary to the majority consensus here, I already utilize Instagram so this data has already been collected for years. (An unfortunate “what’s new”)
We’ll see if it catches on at all…it will be nice once we can see “Threads” from Mastodon so that I can use any of the more privacy respecting apps out there, but until then I think it’s worth seeing how things work.
I don't use Twitter, so no. But normies will finally have a potentially credible Twitter replacement that's open to the public, so good for them.
Not even available here in Italy, so no. But don’t care at all, all these massive companies should just die
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.
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.
They will actively contribute while growing their userbase. When they hit critical mass they will cutoff the fediverse and take their users and their content with them. It happened before.
Thanks, I'm good. I don't even want to know what that is.
No. I don't even have a facebook/meta/instagram account. fuck Zuck.
All the people I know that use Facebook are old(er) people. Not looking forward to old people twitter 😅
Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
Nope
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.
Nope. As it will just end like reddit or meta. And i dont want anything to do with that
I will definitely be installing it whenever it comes to Android out of curiosity if not anything else.
I'd try it out if they paid me for all my data with very detailed explanations of how it will be used.
In other words, no.
I'd rather chew glass
Good timing from them, but no, I don't like Twitter/mastodon style.
I think this is something which makes kbin pretty interesting. It supports threads and microblogs, so it can serve both purposes. I have a Mastodon that I post to once every few years, but I think I might post or at least reply more to people if I could just click between threads and blogs on the fly.
But yeah, for that and all of the other reasons, Threads is out. No interest whatsoever.
lol no
