Laura will be protected from all scrutiny just because she is a woman
Lol what, no. It’s because she’s for all intents and purposes the CEO, and better yet, an overly paid CEO. When’s the last time you’ve seen the CEO getting their comeuppance?
The whole point of federated social media was to get out of walled gardens, yet here we are, building a walled garden.
To an extent yes, but I think it’s pretty easy to see why people are building their own closed communities on the Fediverse. That was the whole “selling point” of it at the beginning. “Not happy with Twitter? Just spin up your own fedi instance where you have your own rules and you can control who joins and who doesn’t”.
You know that it is comically easy to scrape stuff off of the fediverse, right?
Yes, so why would you argue in favour of making it even easier? Do you see why people aren’t too hot on that?
If you are worried about scraping, use Facebook. Facebook has teams of people who combat bot/scraper activity.
I don’t use Facebook for philosophical reasons and that’s why I’ve picked the Fediverse as a whole. I find it amazing we still need to re-explain that all the time.
We’re talking about Meta and Dorsey’s baby (yeah sure, he’s not there anymore but we all know what kind of company he backs) and you’re talking about startups?
Instead, if Bluesky grows, I can see people move away from it.
When has that ever worked?
This is how we wish to present ourselves as an alternative to corporate social media?
The whole idea in the first place was to NOT be corporate. It’s pretty understandable that when those corporations come knocking pretending to be nice, a lot of people want nothing to do with it.
I keep seeing this argument but like… no. It doesn’t scrap stuff, it merely facilitates scrapping. Come on, can we stop pretending for a second.
“I didn’t kill him, the bullet, gravity and velocity did.”
Lol, and do you think it had to be the Americans to stop them. Or that they cared before they got attacked. Or that they would do it again if the us left (I know as an American, you have 0 understanding of history so let me tell you: the Americans left the people who did all that in charge of Japan because it was convenient for them).
And most of it is the result (direct or not) of the US.
I don’t even know if you actually believe what you wrote but if you do, that’s a clear indictment of the American education system.
What do you think would happen if they left? Genuine question.
Idk have the us tried staying in its fucking corner for once rather than spreading death and misery every single time they have gone anywhere?
remind all of us how much military presence the US has around the globe vs China?
Check out all the articles on the massive dips following the sign ups.
Dont know why I’m getting so heavily downvoted by people who probably havent spent a second in the ghost town that is threads (I have). Getting 30 likes on threads is like getting a million on twitter.
Also, how are people not looking at my factual statement as good news?
To all the people worrying about threads: people don’t use it. They use it less than mastodon users use mastodon.

It’s a good thing that community doesn’t host anything illegal then. The argument doesn’t make sense because the community isn’t spreading copyrighted content.
It’s like banning true crime communities because they discuss illegal things (gratuitous killing is pretty illegal in pretty much 99.9% of all cultures around the world - possibly 100%).

Long time FF user, things really aren’t looking good for Mozilla as a whole.
