Alright you dogs, you barked loud and clear. Facebook's Threads is blocked
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Meta community. Discuss about this lemmy instance or lemmy in general.
Man. As if Threads would even care. Due to their connection with instagram, they will automatically become the bigger content aggregator anyway. Why would threads even risk federation with platforms they do not control - and then they get sued if some moron on some instance posts questionable shit and some snowflake user on threads sees it. I’d bet Threads was never supposed to be federated. They just made use of a pre-existing software, just as truth social did. Why work hard, if the software is already there?
Furthermore threads is not even competing with Lemmy and Reddit like alternatives. I do t get all this fuss about threads. Everyone is suddenly so anti corporate, even though big corporations had a big part in what the internet is today.
In the future Defederation will just strengthen the position of bigger platforms. People will sooner or later be unhappy with the rather low amount of content and move to bigger platforms (that will eventually by controlled by corporations)
Staying federated is the smarter decision, as users will stay on smaller instances, since they have a big pool of content from other instances, including corporate instances like threads or similar.
Big corporations also had a big part as to why piracy exists, so pirates on a piracy-focused instance being anti-corporate is not sudden at all.
I think you're lost, pal.
Nah not lost. Just a meta astroturfer. Nice try Zuckerberg.
I just don’t see why it is considered bad to enable federation with meta.
The better concept usually wins. Survival of the fittest.
And Lemmy has grown into a viable competitor (at least on the software side, with apps and web apps facilitating access).
