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.

    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 hope that there would be alternative servers/apps for federating with the main server, then it may worth a try. However I doubt that Meta would make it that easy.

      Only issue with federating is allowing Meta/Facebook to create shadow profiles for everyone posting on other ActivityPub services. Currently, the fediverse is free real estate for data collectors.
