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.
Considering I'm already an Instagram user and I would like this platform better than Instagram, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't make the trade
A friend of mine tried and said that it's basically banning anything lol
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.
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.
I am. I'm a digital marketer by trade. Gotta try everything. Am I going to stick with it? Who knows!
Can you just let me know what it’s like and I can pretend to be in the know when my boss learns about this shit?
I boycott all the products of big corporations as much as possible. I'm not even slightly tempted to try Threads.
I'm still waiting for Blue Sky, but at this point its either Mastodon or something else (like Threads) because Blue Sky just seems to be taking an eternity. Something is going to replace Twitter and at this point I just don't know what it will be.
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.
This is a pretty moronic take. "All of these other companies have already stolen my privacy, so what's one more? It's not like this specific company has helped undermine democracy in a world superpower the last two elections!"
Depends on how many of those data slurping categories I can disable on iPhone. I would at least like to try it.
I won't but I also cannot, because EU and stuff...
I can`t, even if I wanted to. Thanks, EU!
no
I’m interested to see how Threads connects with other social media platforms (like Mastodon), but I’m not using an app with such an invasive privacy policy.
I still don't know what this threads thing even is, aside from being bootleg Twitter...
