Are you going to try Meta's Threads?
(lemmy.world)
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.
In case you're curious about it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.barcelona
I find it weird that no one is linking it. I literally had to find it on APKMirror.
“An Instagram app. Try Instagram’s new…”
Oh god it’s so cringe how they are branding it as Instagram not Meta / Facebook because they think the Instagram brand is hated less. Ohhh sad.
I agree, Facebook is a more comprehensive social nightmare, threads is currently like a streamlined Instagram but into text posts. Data-whoring aside
What does it mean for it to be like Instagram but for text? Instagram I thought would be inseparable from photos. It’s akin to saying “like YouTube but for text.” What does that mean?
It's clean, intuitive UI is almost a clone of IG. They've then just reversed the primary content from photos to text, & strapped it with Twitter-like features (reposts, quote reposts etc.)
