Technology

I don't really care so, no.

I dunno if I'd use the app itself, but I am hopeful it gets traction among "normal" people because I miss following my friends on Mastodon. Threads seems to be the best way to get average non-techy people to accept the fediverse.

Now, I don't trust Meta at all. But I hope I can at least follow my friends' Threads from Mastodon or here on Kbin.

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

No

The zuck can go suck a fuck. Dude must be salivating at how much more data Meta can steal off people with Threads

We are all already there baby. JOIN THE CHAOS.

I hang onto Instagram begrudgingly, definitely won't be trying anything new from Meta.

Nope, I hate Meta and everything it stands for. I will never use their products.

Have never had a Facebook account. Have never had an Instagram account. No, I'm not about to sign up to Threads.

I do have WhatsApp, it's the main messaging app that everyone I know uses, so I don't have much choice.

Once hashtags (& maybe trends) get added, we will get a honeymoon phase, before it all gets bloated TF. Give it a few months and we will have Threads Stories, THCAST for long-form audio/podcasts (with AI transcription), e-commerce Thread Shops...

I didn't use twitter but started using mastodon about a month ago, indent know why I'd need to use threads.

No, won't sign up on that privacy nightmare. Though, once it does support ActivityPub, I'll probably follow people who are not on Mastodon yet.

I’m still on IG so I’ll have an account by default I guess. I may take a peek to see how they implemented it, but it’s hard to imagine staying.

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

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.

I don't use Twitter, don't see a reason to use a FB variant of it.

Fuck no.

I didn't even use Twitter, so no.

The only reason I've held on to Instagram and Facebook is I do like to see updates from friends I haven't seen in a while, especially as a lot of them are getting married and having kids. I'm not close enough to them to reach out and text them for an update, but close enough to say "oh hey, they just had a baby, that's nice" and then move on.

Facebook I actually don't even do that, I just use it for a music gear swap because they post cheap stuff sometimes. If there weren't such good deals, I'd drop Facebook instantly.

Out of curiosity I might would've but not for long term and given that it seems to require an Instragram account I'm not really interested.

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

I am on kbin.social. I worry that if kbin doesn't defederate from Threads, maybe kbin's servers will be flooded with Threads data (i am not techy, so maybe this would be a minor issue). Also, if someone in the Fediverse but outside of Threads starts communicating with someone who has a Threads account, will the non-Threads person now have all of their data that's now on Threads servers collected?

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

i don't use twitter anyway, so my plan is to enjoy this virtual boxing match between musk and zuckerberg until they actually follow through on their real punchup.

@edu4rdshl @m0bi13 of course not!

Only if I can burn them
