Meta is starting to ramp up its growth-hacking tactics for Threads in a bid to boost engagement on the Twitter competitor.

    there’s no way to opt out

    Yes there is a way to opt out. Just opt out of Facebook and Meta products all together.

        Everyone has an excuse but you’ve gotta start somewhere. There are probably hundreds of ways to message people and we would all survive if Meta and it’s products vanished.

          Depends on where you live, Australia I believe use Messenger more than other applications.

          WhatsApp didn’t catch on here outside of the big cities.

        I believe you can disable your Facebook account but still use Messenger, couple of my friends don’t have a profile but can still message.

        I use Facebook Messenger but not Facebook or Treads, just set up bare minimum profile and highest privacy settings.
