I think it's exciting. I don't hate Twitter, but a competitor with big money back in that's potentially going to integrate with the fediverse? That's fucking exciting.

Will they actively contribute or fork it? Who knows.

No, I don't think I'll try '6'

Once hashtags (& maybe trends) get added, we will get a honeymoon phase, before it all gets bloated TF. Give it a few months and we will have Threads Stories, THCAST for long-form audio/podcasts (with AI transcription), e-commerce Thread Shops...

I don't really care so, no.

We are all already there baby. JOIN THE CHAOS.

I'd rather chew glass

Hell no

A friend of mine tried and said that it's basically banning anything lol

I didn't even use Twitter, so no.

The only reason I've held on to Instagram and Facebook is I do like to see updates from friends I haven't seen in a while, especially as a lot of them are getting married and having kids. I'm not close enough to them to reach out and text them for an update, but close enough to say "oh hey, they just had a baby, that's nice" and then move on.

Facebook I actually don't even do that, I just use it for a music gear swap because they post cheap stuff sometimes. If there weren't such good deals, I'd drop Facebook instantly.

Hell no, I'll be avoiding it like the plague, just like the rest of facecuck's services.

This is going to be popular in places that are already deep on the Facebook ecosystem, such as India. But I really hope it doesn't everywhere else.

I try already but it's a little boring for me, I already had Instagram to talk to my friend so I don't see purpose to use a social media to just write things with the people I already followed in Instagram when I just can send a DM or ask for other social media they use if I don't want to use IG. Its my opinion

Nope. Never had a Twitter account either. The whole concept is stupid and just brings a lot of noise from the type of people you'd never hear from in years gone by.

The last thing I need in my life is to have my privacy debased by another data collection app disguising itself as social media, and even less to participate in another echo chamber shitshow like Facebook or Twitter. Hard pass…

Only if I can burn them

Lmao.

No.

Hell no.

Fuck no.

No.

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.

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

Nope but I didn't use twitter either, nor will I use Mastodon. Just not my cup of tea as it is a vile place and you can clearly see in the last couple of twitter years why I was right on this one. Mastodon and Threads will suffer the same fate imho. This type of platform attracts....certain weird and extreme people.

Not released in EU. So can't ;(. Wait, that might be a good thing?

I won't but I also cannot, because EU and stuff...
