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.

Yep. Looks like they made it to minimal-viable-product.
Now they’re going to be in enticement mode, so everyone there’s going to be nice, moderation’s going to be better (not great, but less sucky), and they’ll work to keep the riff-raff out.
Later comes the Extend-Extinguish part of the Three E’s, the festooning with ads, the constant exhortations to upgrade to Premium™, the sudden incompatibility with anything not Meta, and enough tracking to make Big Brother envious.
Agree with everything except the tracking; that’s got to be built into it since day one, unless they didn’t manage to hit their harvesting goals by the stated release date, which they want to hit in order to compete with twitter asap
