Jeff GeerlingThere are like 6 Twitters now. It's hard to pick which one to procrastinate on now.

🇳🇿@geerlingguy should be an easy choice. All the others - aside from the Fediverse - have the same fundamental structural flaws that Twitter has.
@lightweight but what if threads goes feds?
Shawn Powers@geerlingguy @lightweight When people ask me that (during podcasts, livestreams, etc) — I generally guess they’ll federate, but include ads injected into OUR streams if we follow Threads users. It would be simple, and nefarious.
John Van Ham@shawnp0wers @geerlingguy @lightweight ugh, you think they'll push out ads via ActivityPub?? Would some regulation require them to be tagged as ads so fediverse apps can block them?
@jvh @geerlingguy @lightweight That’s my thought/concern. I’m not sure regulation will exist or could be implemented, but I think they’ll have to weigh the potential of having the server(s) getting mass-blocked by other instances.
I mean, I’ve already heard people say they’ll block meta servers, but I would rather not block them if possible. I like open communication. But if they inject ads TO me? Eiw.
@jvh @geerlingguy @lightweight Hopefully they’ll see the potential backlash and not do that, but it would be easy from a technical standpoint for sure.
