I keep seeing everyone say their privacy is why they aren’t going to use threads. I don’t think that’s entirely true. I think most of us here have a hatred so deep for meta that even if they made the greatest app on earth, we’d still not use it. So, if threads actually respected your privacy would you use it?
I never liked the concept of Twitter and therefore never used it. Why would I use a knock-off?
Regarding Meta and privacy let’s never forget that Facebook started with stolen student data right in its first version. Zuckerberg is a piece of shit and can never be trusted.
I think the premise here is just wrong. It’s like asking would you drink seawater if it wasn’t salty - that’s just not going to happen, ever.
Yeah, of course I’d give it a try. You don’t have to straw man people and accuse them of lying about caring about their privacy.
No, not when I use and prefer Twitter.
I would never trust that it would respect my privacy in the first place. Why would anyone think they’re going to turn over a new leaf just because they released a new service?!
Nope. I’m boycotting META not only because of the privacy issues, but because of their history in general. I won’t support such a fucked up corporation.
Would you get in the rusty white van with blackened windows if the meth-faced man driving it told you there were puppies inside?
I’d do this before I made a threads account tbh
If Threads wasn’t Threads and wasn’t part of the Meta ecosystem, and this could be guaranteed to me forever, sure I might use whatever that would be. But that’s so far from reality as to be a meaningless question.
