What if Meta’s hidden objective behind the Threads-to-Mastodon initiative is a play on app.net? And, what if threads.net is a measured step towards what could be the greatest pivot in all of tech?

    Won’t matter if they can just repeat the same trick. We have to do something… now.

      We can’t really do anything. We’re like less than 1% of the market and the rest don’t care.

      Just keep them defederated and there’s not a lot they can do.

      You are here, you are doing something. If they start with the bullshit we defederate them. (Or build new tech to keep corp influence in check, whatever we want.)

      Point is: at some point me getting updates from Aunt Ethel matters a lot less to me than controlling my privacy and living my life without being advertised to every second.
