All this conversation about #Meta on #Fedi feels like the worst parts of geek culture. So technical, without understanding context or what strikes can actually do. My thoughts: Meta will make a great app for Fedi because it has more money to throw at the task. People will start using that because it's better. It will have QTs and an algorithm. People they want to follow will be there. 🧵1/6

    similar things have happened in the past, How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse)

      I was one of the people who thought meta joining the fediverse could be good, but that convinced me that we need to keep them out.

      Thanks for posting that

        all the big players want is to eradicate competitions, especially one that can threaten their position.

        It could be good, but it won’t be.

        Even if their current intentions are honest, someday that will change and some exec or VP will see an untapped revenue source and exploit it.

          It’s meta. Their intentions are never honest.

            The point you’re missing is that it doesn’t matter if their intentions are honest or not now because even if they are (that conditional is a seriously important word there!) there’s no way to ensure they will remain that way.

            There is no safe way to bring surveillance capitalism into a commons, no matter how pure the motive may or may not be at the moment.

      Yes, that’s an excellent post as well. I would add this one too: https://ianbetteridge.com/2023/06/21/meta-and-mastodon-whats-really-on-peoples-minds/

      Embrace Extend Extinguish

      It sounds like the evil empire’s motto in a scifi. But this is a business plan.
