The real answer is nothing, assuming they already had an Instagram account. People are all up in arms, but the majority of ‘signups’ were just people clicking the activation button as opposed to creating a new account.
That said, I currently will praise anything that takes more users away from Twitter. Lesser of two evils and all that.
I’d argue Meta takes the cake just with Cambridge Analytica in terms of damage. Let alone all the other shit. But yeah, choose between ebola and the black plague…
As LTT said. Threads is the result of the Zuck flicking his tongue out and tasting blood.
But I mean we (society, not me, miss me with that) are still clearly subscribing to a social media site run by the lizard people and calling it an improvement.
What new personal information did meta get from Instagram users enabling threads?

Not that I disagree much, but… what a world we live in where Meta is the lesser of two evils…
Well, that’s enough internet for today, day drinking anyone?

Day dosing more like it.

Plus, Elon is more likely to run Twitter into the ground than Zuck is Meta, so that alone makes Meta the bigger threat.
I agree, it’s amazing. Musk has been such a dumbfuck that he has managed to make Mark Zuckerberg look good by comparison.

Which says a lot.
You have to have blood to be a lizard. That man is as organic as my Playstation
And, unless your Playstation is broken, less fun.
…wait, scratch, that, even if your Playstation is broken, he’s less fun.
Zuck is not a lesser evil. He’s the same evil. And Jeffrey bezos this week is having a laugh because nobody’s paying attention to him at the moment.
I’m going to assume not all new users were Instagram users.
Pretty sure all new users are required to have an Instagram? I know for sure the two are linked. No deleting Threads without deleting your Insta.
Also Facebook
Health history and fitness status
Instagram doesn’t already collect that?
I think not
That surprises me. I assumed they took everything they could.
