Too much data collection for my tastes. That and Facebook have shown. That they don't know how to maintain a healthy and engaging community. It would just become another doom scroll rather than anything interesting. But I'll watch what happens.

One word : enshittification

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...

Kind of amusing you even posted the question, but I appreciate the sincerity and curiosity. Also! No.

Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Are you going to try Facebook's threads FTFY

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.

That’s a hard “no” from me.

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.

Thanks, I'm good. I don't even want to know what that is.

Hell no

All the people I know that use Facebook are old(er) people. Not looking forward to old people twitter 😅

Nope

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.

will i use the app, hell no.

Will I talk with people who use threads if available, maybe if a topic peaks my interest. I'm not completely against meta's use of the federation, and all I do hope is they contribute to some content and discussion of topics and development of the platform.

nope, everyone I follow has moved to mastadon.

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.

Absolutely not, Meta can get screwed. The sooner the company crashes and burn, the better. It caused too much damage worldwide.

Not even available here in Italy, so no. But don’t care at all, all these massive companies should just die

Unpopular opinion: It's actually kinda nice, I don't mind it.

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.

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.

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

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.

I'd rather chew glass

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

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.
