How likely is a federated threads going to be used to harvest data for whatever advertising or AI purpose meta has?
Aside from ensuring their launch product has immediate content, the only reason meta would do this is for that $$.
That said, it could be a symbiotic relationship with instances who's users aren't super worried about that & find value from the addtl content it will surely bring.
I don't get 2 and 3. How am I creating a text document with a name and saving it as a different name? Am I saving that document in a folder? Am I changing its name to the one in 3? Could anyone please explain?
Edit: is threads.net supposed to be a line in that document? If so, then never mind my question. Thanks
If you create it by opening your text editor, the file won't have a name until you save it (eg. New document.txt). Threads.net goes inside the new text file as the contents, and is not the filename. Then you save your new text document as the .csv filename, changing the extension from .txt to .csv.
Someone want to explain how to get followers on there? Feel like posting to the wind on that site?
Neat trick.

This is Microsoft's playbook, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish, it was use by Google to kill off XMPP - https://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2013/05/did-google-really-kill-off-all-xmppjabber-support-in-google-hangouts-it-still-seems-to-partially-work.html, now it will be used by Facebook to try to kill the Fediverse.
Why is this not more widely talked about? Please share this.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
