Will people here use/try Meta's #threads when available? Would love to know the reasons or if it would be just for fun/curiosity.

After reading another post where it was shown all the private information the app requires, I’ll never even be close to it (a quick resume: location, device information, user profiles on other apps, payment information, even health information).

Edit: found a link (it’s a meme, but the screenshot shows what i’m referring to): https://lemm.ee/post/653305
