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.

    Absolutely, yes. I almost always try the newest networks/apps because I like to see for myself whether I think they’re going to be a hit and/or worthwhile.

        I realized after posting that my initial reply may have sounded snarky, and that wasn’t my intention. I’m a cross country and track coach, and the reality is that, like it or not, part of my job is ensuring the team has a visible social media presence. I feel an obligation to at least attempt to stay on top of what services people are using the most at any given time.

          It’s totally okay to say ‘yes’, that’s called freedom, we are not a cult lol. Some of my friends are going to use it as well :)

          I think it’s a much better approach than the “hurr durr zuck bad” sentiment here. You don’t have to be a power user, see if it can add value to your life and how, then go from there.
