    Until you realize Threads goal is to also take down the Fediverse :(

      Let’s hope this fight goes on for a long time and neither of them touch Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse

      They have plan to adopt the same standard “in future”. That mean we have plenty of time to check the beast from afar. Not perfect but not an immediate “thread” either.

      The problem right now is that ask a s***load of personal information to use the app and if later you want to leave, you can’t unless you erase your Instagram account too.

            I feel like this tactic can’t work if we stick to foss options. They can add all their shitty reels/stories/whatever else, if we stick with foss they can do jack shit about it.

              Except that’s what happened with xmpp. Google and WhatsApp and Facebook all used to be xmpp. Once they had most their users they started ignoring the protocol and people who had regular xmpp servers we’re viewed as weird by the rest of society since they couldn’t see certain things and then to “fix” that, Google and Facebook stopped interoperating with xmpp and people said “hurray, no more broken stuff, thank you our giant tech overlords!”

                I dunno, I prefer to think people, at least those here, tend to be a bit more tech savvy than the average user was back then. Maybe it’s hopeful thinking though.

                I think the people using the Fediverse is already seen weird by the majority. I’m ok with that.

                I used to use xmpp, jabber, and ICQ. I one of a few in school that used it. It wasn’t really popular to the general population. I would believe sms and smartphones really killed it.
