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.

The amount of data collected is insane imo.

    Yes! BUTTTTT I have a master plan!!!

    HERE ME OUT!

    I’m on Instagram and have a bunch of followers, around 200K.

    SO - My plan is to squat as the IG users pick up Threads. Most people will just follow the same people from IG (Meta encourages it and it fills your feed fast).

    My follower count on Threads should grow just from that alone, right?

    THEN - Facebook finally federates, right?

    THEN! Facebook allows for account migration to Mastodon.

    First… I migrate my @renwillis@mstdn.social account to Threads.

    Finally… Immediately migrate all my followers from Threads back to mstdn.social.

    Suddenly potentially 200K are following a Mastodon account!!! MWUH-HAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!
