I have never (and will never) use Threads. This ad on Facebook shows a screenshot clearly depicting someone having commented on a photo of mine that doesn’t exist. Deceptive, garbage marketing practices from a deceptive garbage tech company. It’s extremely easy to see a tech-illiterate person creating a Threads account just to see what photo of them is on there and who is commenting on it.

And before anyone mentions it, yes I use Facebook. Very minimally. My entire family lives thousands of miles away and Facebook is all I have to feel connected with them.

    I don’t have enough technical knowledge to know how to trust a provider or make my own.

    Ads are basically invisible to me now anyway. Theyre just instructions on where to click or to keep scrolling.
