I heard it will be on the Fediverse. Is it true? I heard it had 30 millions users registered on the first day. Wtf. The whole Fediverse doesn’t even have 10 millions users. I heard it will not be available in Europe, yet. I visited https://www.threads.net/ and I don’t know if it’ll be the Threads instance to the Fediverse. There’s nothing at the moment.
I wouldn’t like this contamination in the Fediverse. What are your thoughts?
Full disclosure: I’ve never had a Twitter account and have never really been interested in one, though I’ve clicked links to Twitter content in the past.
A lot of people are understandably looking for a Twitter alternative, and some may go to threads because it’s not Elon, and they may have had good experiences with Instagram. But I would never in a million years make an account on Threads. Zuckerberg may not be overtly incompetent like Elon, but I think his products (especially Facebook) have been responsible for some terrible things, and I think they have egregious practices with personal data.
I hope something less susceptible to corporate takeover and monetization, like mastodon, takes off.
