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.
FUCK no.
Every instance owner should be looking to sign this. Every time you see Meta bullshit posted, please repost this. Also idk how to tag people and I know he's super busy as of late but calling on Ruud@lemmy.world to get on board with this as well. With the ever growing size of his community it is his responsibility to help us protect the Fediverse.
"i am an instance admin/mod on the fediverse. by signing this pact, i hereby agree to block any instances owned by meta should they pop up on the fediverse. project92 is a real and serious threat to the health and longevity of fedi and must be fought back against at every possible opportunity"
No
Nope.
I'm not interested in anything from Meta if I can help it
I'm astonished to see people publishing about it on Twitter and even here.
The entire point of the remaining social networks is that they don't belong to Meta, that's it.
I'll keep using Twitter and Lemmy and when I feel able to, delete all my Meta related accounts.
I honestly don't think that threads will ever be part of the fediverse they will use activitypub to connect Facebook threads and Instagram and nothing else people think that there joining the fediverse because there incorporating activitypub but I don't see it happening
Hell no!
No?
No. I don't even have a facebook/meta/instagram account. fuck Zuck.
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.
nopeee
All the people I know that use Facebook are old(er) people. Not looking forward to old people twitter 😅
Are you going to try Facebook's threads FTFY
Not even available here in Italy, so no. But don’t care at all, all these massive companies should just die
No, no I don't think I will...
Nope
Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
Thanks, I'm good. I don't even want to know what that is.
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.
no definitely not installing it or opening an account.
I'm not against federation tho, I'd be in favour of showing people you can get all the same content through another channel. defederating means that people will have to use it if there's content from someone they like on there. I don't want to give people a reason to install that shit.
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.
We are all already there baby. JOIN THE CHAOS.
I'd rather chew glass
I don't really care so, no.
No. Never.
I hang onto Instagram begrudgingly, definitely won't be trying anything new from Meta.
Absolutely, yes. I almost always try the newest networks/apps because I like to see for myself whether I think they're going to be a hit and/or worthwhile.
I don't plan to, ever.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
