Threads is looking better and better. What I wanted from social media was:

* self-promotion from celebrities and rich people

* no control over my timeline

* strict prohibition of any sexual content

* nothing from europe

* no alt-text

* data harvesting to empower genocides

@maxkennerly I'm wondering if it ever actually does adopt activity pub.

I'm all for it but I don't understand what's in it for them.

@tom4okstate coopting AP and then add functions on their side that the AP teams won't implement. Resulting in the same debacle we had with XMPP/Google. They want to get us back on their products.

@switch @tom4okstate @maxkennerly IMO they don't care about us. Fediverse is too small to be important for Meta to fight for us to be there. I think they fear of regulators and the fact, that they can be splitted.

@djvdq @tom4okstate Meta is extremely aware of the momentum ethical social networks have right now. They will want to sabotage it. @maxkennerly

@switch there is already antitrust case in US, FTC vs Meta. EU don't like them also, to put it mildly. If they would have one more big social media platform they can be almost sure that they will be splitted sooner or later.
What momentum do you mean? Fediverse is less than 10 million people across all platforms and declining. It's 0.3% of all Meta users. Sadly, people doesn't care about privacy or ethics. They care if they can see what movie/sport/music star is posting online
