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.

Not until they add some basic features and we get some answers on the data collection.

It doesn't even offer a reverse chronological list of posts with only people you follow. That is basic, day 1 level functionality for me.

I don't think I'll use it in any serious way. I left Facebook years ago now. I have an Instagram but never use it. I'm just not a user of Meta's products. But I'll reserve my handle and if Twitter itself finally craps the bed at least I'll have one more off ramp.
