Personally, as long as it’s owned my Meta, i just see “Threats” as the name. With this, i mean to data sniffing and privacy concerns. Plus, as much as it seems a good product, how long will it take to be “enshittified”?
It seems to me the latest “social medias” have the same formula, launch as a decent app, gather a massive user base, business realise the money potential, the application gets uglier with time as Ads are everywhere and content is generated by bots.
One interesting feature is thar they’re trying the ActivityPub protocol, which will allow them to interconnect with Mastodon servers. This is also not all good, as it means they’ll start to sniff data from there. But, at least i can block the threads server entirely preventing this :)
