Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse.
If you’re a server admin, please defederate Meta’s domain “threads.net”
If you don’t run your own server, please ask your server admin to defederate “threads.net”.
And what’s the most important - they were a “corporation of good” then. They were doing plenty of such things, which are in fact acts of war, because there’s no other purpose to them, surely not money, - only strangling competition and places where something may emerge.
Its about the money, but the money in the long term.
They will gladly sacrifice short term money, by strangling or usurping anything they perceive as a possible competitor and threat to their long term money.
because as long as they sit on the top and kill everything beneath them, the long term money will always come.
What I still don’t get is the amount of evangelists and fanboys back them among very competent or geeky people.
Competent - pretty important developers in FOSS would simp for those companies (I’m not talking about employment, but about really just simping).
Geeky - it wouldn’t be rare to find a Gentoo user simping for Google or Apple.
It’s as if it were some madness spread in the air.
Just cause someone is competent or intelligent, doesnt mean they are smart or wise.
