and now #meta is trying to run into the #fediverse with #threads, and do to #mastodon what they did to #myspace in 2010. with the same tactics:

1. a public excited friendly face of #interop

2. drain of users

3. when the competitor is a dried husk, turn around and fanatically prevent any interop with #facebook on any level whatsoever

people need to understand what meta is

and have no illusions about what they have done, and what they will do

@benroyce
I don't buy this narrative for the simple reason that I don't believe many people on Mastodon are going to move to Threads. The suspicion towards Meta is simply too big. I do expect people to move *to* Mastodon for this reason.

So why does Meta do it? My guess is that they're looking at how legislation, especially from the EU, is developing and they want to be in charge of a network that is compatible with that vision.

@collectifission @matthew_d_green

it's not a narrative as in a nice story to conform to a bias

it's reality as in a solid track record of behavior

"well, ok sure they're a vile privacy destroying disinfo spreading psychologically manipulating-for-engagement ghoulish corporation that engages in sharp elbow tactics for domination. but let's give them the benefit of the doubt here"

now *that*'s a narrative

and even if you think their project will fail, do not doubt their motivation
