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?

It has made me feel like I am going to be giving up on most of the world.

When the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter came out the world was still learning about privacy, and the companies took it away in baby steps. People were already using it and addicted, so I can understand why they didn't give it up.

This, however, is a new service by fucking Zuckerberg. I honestly think you have got to have something deeply wrong with your cognitive functions to sign up for a new service from that man.

For me, it concerns me that I am going to have to go out of my way to find instances that defederate from it, which is going to be a pain in the ass.
