They gave up all their personal data to see a crappy algo-driven social media site. Meta still considers this a win.

What new personal information did meta get from Instagram users enabling threads?

[-] saegiru@lemmy.world 71 points 2 years ago

The real answer is nothing, assuming they already had an Instagram account. People are all up in arms, but the majority of 'signups' were just people clicking the activation button as opposed to creating a new account.

That said, I currently will praise anything that takes more users away from Twitter. Lesser of two evils and all that.

Zuck is not a lesser evil. He's the same evil. And Jeffrey bezos this week is having a laugh because nobody's paying attention to him at the moment.
