Technology

Of course not, what's the point? Fediverse (Mastodon, PixelFed, Lemmy) is fine and dandy for me!

We are all already there baby. JOIN THE CHAOS.

I'd rather chew glass

I will definitely be installing it whenever it comes to Android out of curiosity if not anything else.

The zuck can go suck a fuck. Dude must be salivating at how much more data Meta can steal off people with Threads

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

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’m still on IG so I’ll have an account by default I guess. I may take a peek to see how they implemented it, but it’s hard to imagine staying.

Are you going to try Facebook's threads FTFY

I am on kbin.social. I worry that if kbin doesn't defederate from Threads, maybe kbin's servers will be flooded with Threads data (i am not techy, so maybe this would be a minor issue). Also, if someone in the Fediverse but outside of Threads starts communicating with someone who has a Threads account, will the non-Threads person now have all of their data that's now on Threads servers collected?

One word : enshittification

i don't use twitter anyway, so my plan is to enjoy this virtual boxing match between musk and zuckerberg until they actually follow through on their real punchup.

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

lol no

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

Out of curiosity I might would've but not for long term and given that it seems to require an Instragram account I'm not really interested.

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...

@edu4rdshl @m0bi13 of course not!

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

I didn't use twitter but started using mastodon about a month ago, indent know why I'd need to use threads.

I don't use Twitter, don't see a reason to use a FB variant of it.

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.

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.

Good timing from them, but no, I don't like Twitter/mastodon style.

I can`t, even if I wanted to. Thanks, EU!

Hell no.

Njet.
