Has anybody tried using Meta's Threads yet? How is it? (kbin.social)

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...

There’s no feed for only people you follow, the feed isn’t chronological, the UI feels like it’s wasting a lot of space… It’s not great. Twitter wins in UX, but I’d rather everyone move to Mastodon. Moving from Twitter to Meta seems like just picking the lesser evil.

That's like the most basic feature in any social media LOL why did they ditch it

Like i said before, the definitely rushed the launch

They will add it soon later, the platform just launched a few days ago and same for entering the EU I guess.

Meta has been as instrumental (if not more) in the recent right wing extremist/anti-intellectual wave that has been plaguing the world for the last decade. So many governments worldwide have gone to racist extremists.
