…or how do you all picture the endgame of Meta's EEE campaign?

All I see right now is a 10x increase of people in the fediverse and while this may be challenging, isn't it ultimately a good thing?

I think their strategy is not gonna work. Meta is universally hated by everyone using the Fediverde now. The majority of Mastodon / Lemmy users are here looking for alternatives.

Also, I dont think Facebook and Instagram users are looking for a Twitter alternative.

Also, Meta is good buying stuff (Instagram, WhatsApp) but they have a history of trying new apps that are never successful.

I predict Meta Threads will close in a couple of months.

I've seen so many shills on today bending over for meta, don't know if they're plants or just love the taste of boot leather

the general population kinda doesn't care, it's just us in the tech-bubble who do. I'm afraid it's going to be just as popular as the other meta services.

Entirely possible, yes.
