People keep parroting that Threads will kill us all but won't explain how it could happen to the fediverse. As in, actual steps. Because Flipboard federated and I'm not flooded with news posts. Mastodon is used for Nazi instances and I'm not flooded by Nazi content, even if the maintainer don't block that particular instace due to not knowing it exists.
No, XMP is not a valid example. It requires specific people to be on that specific platform for you to connect with them, like iMessage and WhatsApp. The fediverse is nothing like that.
Can someone explain exactly how EEE will happen? Technically? Other than FUD?
EDIT: thank you all for the replies, there's definitely some good points that are worth considering that I couldn't find elsewhere.
How could a company that sells data misuse or sell our data? It is the people who are wrong because I am not capable of critical thought
And yet you haven't explained "how", you repeated a few buzzwords. If they want to "steal data" they are able to by simply creating their own instance.
What specifically will they do / can they do, to tank the fediverse?
