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.

I'll try it. I don't really care about data privacy very much and neither do a lot of other people until the data receiver is someone they dislike.
How much data is Reddit, Tumblr, Uber, Snapchat, WhatsApp, AirBnB or any other app getting? Who cares as long as I don't hate their CEO.
This is a pretty moronic take. "All of these other companies have already stolen my privacy, so what's one more? It's not like this specific company has helped undermine democracy in a world superpower the last two elections!"
There it is. It's not about the data - it's political.
One has a lot to do with the other lmao. Yeah, I don't like any companies that undermine democratic elections. Do you?
