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've stopped using LinkedIn because it keeps defaulting to Relevant instead of Recent, and Relevant apparently means posts from 2 weeks ago. But at least there you can manually set it to Recent every time.

A social medium where sorting by Recent is impossible will be a no-go.

My current issue with LinkedIn is that they're trying so hard to force me to use their app on mobile.

The latest way is that they're no longer allowing you to do the "easy apply" from mobile without their app.

I don't want the damn app though. There's no good reason to lock features that work fine on a desktop browser away from mobile users unless they install the app.
