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.
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.
Personally, no. Facebook/Meta has instilled absolutely zero goodwill in me as a platform and as a product it brings nothing new to the table to entice me in. Their userbase size is their only potential benefit, and tbh that has never been a draw for myself.
And that’s all assuming they actually respected my privacy, which I don’t believe for a moment they would ever do.
I would not use anything Meta: Don’t let Meta metastasize.
No. Meta can’t be trusted.
No, I never liked Twitter or Mastodon anyways. Also, Meta does not respect privacy regardless of what they say.
Meta has literally caused genocides without recourse.
no.
Wouldn’t even consider it without having control over my timeline.
Hell no, meta created it.
I never used Twitter, why would I use it’s alternatives?
No
I don’t think it really matters. Meta has proven time and time again that they don’t care about your privacy. Even if they are doing the right thing this time, trust needs to be earned.
Definitely not! For me, they’re just wanting to destroy the whole Fediverse thing
I’ve been waiting for the return of non-commercial social media for a decade now. I have it. It’s here, and I’m not voluntarily handing over any of my thoughts or ideas for someone else to make money off of ever again.
