I'm beginning to think the mastodon integration everyone was shitting themselves over was vapourware.
I hope it is.
Nobody cares
Fairly sure this was already posted too.
Hello Nobody
I mean nobody cares about Threads ;P
Nobody uses this app, it's been a complete disaster of a launch.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Following its rollout in countries like the US and UK this past July, Threads will finally be expanded to users in the European Union on December 14th.
European Instagram users can also search for the term “ticket” within the app to discover a digital invitation to Threads, alongside a scannable QR code and a launch time — which may vary depending on the country in which the user is based.
We have contacted Meta to confirm the details, like which EU countries Threads might launch in, and will update this story if we hear back.
The delay in Threads’ rollout to the EU has been caused by what Meta spokesperson Christine Pai described as “upcoming regulatory uncertainty,” likely in reference to strict rules under the bloc’s Digital Markets Act (DMA).
Meta, alongside other tech giants like Microsoft and Apple, were formally designated as platform gatekeepers under the law in July, beholding them to new rules regarding user consent and data protection.
It isn’t immediately clear if any changes have been made to the core Threads experience in the EU to accommodate these rules.
