Like Did he do it on purpose?

At this point, I'm gonna say yes. Yes, he did do it on purpose. Why? The conspiracy theorist in me says it's to push people into Meta's Threads, building it up even more before it federates, in an attempt to kill the Fediverse like Google did with XMPP, because the Fediverse is the fastest growing bastion of corporate-influence-free speech on the Internet.

Or he's just an idiot. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
