NO....the beauty of the Fediverse is that corporate interests aren't welcome here. It's a new frontier and you're advocating that we extend an invite to the ones that fucked up the last frontier. Make a threads account if that's important, you have ZERO argument for the rest of us to need the ability to connect with them from a platform specifically designed for decentralized control.

You can decide for yourself by making your own server or finding one you align with, that's exactly how this works.
Sorry to be blunt but nobody here should give a single shit that they "can't interact with Threads content" from Lemmy. Make an account there if you care that much. Lemmy is exactly the opposite of a corporate-controlled and monetized platform and the Fediverse is flourishing because a need arose to not let corporate fucks ruin everything they touch. If they're your friends, you can interact with them any number of ways, send them a link however you normally talk, obviously. This is shill talk.
Interesting, mine was 5 seconds long and muted.
You're picking out one phrase in that entire post and creating a new meaning out of it by ignoring the context.
That is...they didn't say it's not worth voting on whatsoever, they insinuated that if put to a vote, Meta will cheat and astroturf.
I apologize and I wouldn't want that either lol. That thought is scary and that meeting would end up with them talking about how to hide my body.
Gladly, thanks for the reminder.
It's not just one behavior, it's a continuous pattern of behavior. If you want to give them a clean slate in every new instance, that's your choice. At some point it's the scorpion and the frog. Whether you consider it an ethical argument or not, it's basic common sense that Meta's pattern of behavior will continue absent any evidence to the contrary.
And ad hominem is an argument against a person, not a company. My argument is citing their past behavior which would not be an ad hominem argument even if I'd cited Zuckerberg specifically. "Because Zuck is greedy." would be ad hominem.
They of course have no interest in growing the fediverse as an independent alternative, they want to use it for their own ends. They want to serve people the fediverse's free content under their own umbrella and rules (and ads of course) to monetize stuff that doesn't belong to them, or anyone else. It's all pretty straightforward greed and capitalizing on an opportunity.
What makes ours ethical and their unethical??
Their actual history. Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.
Sounds like leopards are eating faces again.
How did you even end up here?
