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.

If anything, Threads will operate more like BlueSky. Anybody who thinks they'll allow the Fediverse to gain the upper hand is sorely mistaken. Joey does not share food. Their main goal is to take over the space vacated by Twitter. Their secondary goal is to suck any data they can out of the Fediverse and discard it when it's convenient. The Fediverse is a body to step on on their way to the top.
