I heard it’s already launched, is it true?

Yeah, I’m aware it’s from Meta so automatically it’s going to be hated by people from Fediverse… But I think it’s not fair to judge something until we try it directly.

I’m particularly interested in the ActivityPub compatibility, but it’s seems like it’s not going to be enabled on launch? Can anyone confirm?

NGL, my expectation is very low from this app. The fact that it’s not going to be released in EU is very alarming, hmm. Meta isn’t known for respecting user’s privacy…

    The reason why there is only a mobile version is so it can syphon data easier. Do not install this thing on your phone! Your curiosity is costing you a lot.

    The purpose of this app is to dig into your private life, don’t put it on a “fair” scale.

      I also found out that the account is tied to existing Instagram account… and from what I seen, you can’t delete the Threads account, only “deactivate”. I suspect this is why they can’t launch this in EU? Anyway, looking at how limited the features are, this app is a pass for me

        That is the initial purpose of Threads I think. Install the app and you will see it on the ToS page/phase of your registration.
