I won't be creating an account on #Threads because I deactivated my Facebook and Instagram accounts years ago because:
- Cambridge Analytica
- Myanmar genocide
- Long history of incitement of hate and disinformation for profit
- Helping Fox News drive senior citizens into conspiracy-theory madness

I have no objection (yet) to federating with Threads or following people there. I just refuse to look at their ads or follow their algorithm.

Thumbs up!
I can't stand the company's ethics, so I've always stayed away from anything facebook/meta related. And I won't change that now.

However, I have to say that my only contact with facebook has actually been surprisingly pleasant. Years ago, when my daughter was born, someone set up a facebook account in her name. I asked support to delete it and they took care of it within a few hours. :-)
