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.

“An Instagram app. Try Instagram’s new…”
Oh god it’s so cringe how they are branding it as Instagram not Meta / Facebook because they think the Instagram brand is hated less. Ohhh sad.
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
I agree, Facebook is a more comprehensive social nightmare, threads is currently like a streamlined Instagram but into text posts. Data-whoring aside
What does it mean for it to be like Instagram but for text? Instagram I thought would be inseparable from photos. It’s akin to saying “like YouTube but for text.” What does that mean?
It’s clean, intuitive UI is almost a clone of IG. They’ve then just reversed the primary content from photos to text, & strapped it with Twitter-like features (reposts, quote reposts etc.)
