…or how do you all picture the endgame of Meta’s EEE campaign?
All I see right now is a 10x increase of people in the fediverse and while this may be challenging, isn’t it ultimately a good thing?
I think their strategy is not gonna work. Meta is universally hated by everyone using the Fediverde now. The majority of Mastodon / Lemmy users are here looking for alternatives.
Also, I dont think Facebook and Instagram users are looking for a Twitter alternative.
Also, Meta is good buying stuff (Instagram, WhatsApp) but they have a history of trying new apps that are never successful.
I predict Meta Threads will close in a couple of months.
I’ve seen so many shills on today bending over for meta, don’t know if they’re plants or just love the taste of boot leather
It would be fine, except the extinguish part. All it would take is for facebook to no longer federate content and all those new users would be gone instantly.
We’ll just be back where we started then, but now alot more people would know about the fediverse and could switch to Mastodon if/when Threads goes downhill
Doesn’t seem like a bad deal to me tbh; I’ll be able to follow some artists I like on Threads through the comfort of Mastodon in the meantime
Facebook doesn’t let you see only your subscribed content. Neither does Instagram.
I see no reason to believe they’ll let you escape The Algorithm on Threads. That alone should drive people to non-Threads instances.
