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.

As much as I hate Meta and hate Twitter, more competition between them is a win imo. It also helps break the mindset of people that there aren't any alternatives to twitter, which makes them more likely to try things like Mastodon.

If I use it it'll be from a federated fediverse instance after Threads connect to it. I'm not running there, but I genuinely think it's better that it exists.
