Are you going to try Meta's Threads? (self.technology)

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.

This is actually the reason. Until they will buy the copyrights for the trademark, Meta can't use it

Ah that’s interesting. Amazing to see them actually respecting a copyright. They could still have gone with Facebook, though. I think the Instagram halo is real.

Not really "respecting" but more like avoiding to engage what seems to be an actual patent/trademark troll. Because I checked the brand's site and it doesn't seem to be working, but the patent is still held
