⚠️ Watch closely any efforts that tilt the #Fediverse toward centralization and/or creating larger actors. This includes topics like moderation and standards work.

Follow the money, then follow it even more.

Reflect on those whose power is threatened by the true democratization and re-decentralization of the Internet.

@downey You're not wrong. It amazes me that some people want to accept Threads with open arms. Do you think they're trying to be here just to play nice? To them we are untapped revenue, territory to expand into and control, as well as competition.

I think they are players in a very strategic move from end-stage capitalism trying every trick in the book to avoid its extinction.
