Everyone is talking about defederating because of XMPP and EEE. But the very fact that we know about EEE means that it's much less likely to succeed.

Zuck is seeing the metaverse crash and burn and he knows he needs to create the next hot new thing before even the boomers left on facebook get bored with it. Twitter crashing and burning is a perfect business opportunity, but he can't just copy Twitter - it has to be "Twitter, but better". Hence the fediverse.

From Meta's standpoint, they don't need the Fediverse. Meta operates at a vastly different scale. Mastodon took 7 years to reach ~10M users - Threads did that in a day or two. My guess is that Zuck is riding on the Fediverse buzzword. I'm sure whatever integration he builds in future will be limited.

TL;DR below:

I've never liked communities based around buying certain products. So much gatekeeping and drama... and for what, to spend money? It's a marketer's wet dream.

I don't see any value in celebrating the fact that someone went out and spent money to get something, or stood in line to get something.

or use old.reddit.com?

Honestly, i thought I would miss reddit more, but I haven't been back since I moved here and haven't thought about it one bit. I expect I'll still end up on reddit occasionally when I search for something, but I don't see myself ever posting there again.

When they said they were having a cage fight, I was envisioning a physical boxing match in a ring, not two billionaires trying to out-lawyer each other...

That's smart.

Some lubrication may also help, so add oil liberally. Not just to the tires, but also the windscreen and the hood of the engine so it slips through the air better.

I hear polonium is pretty good as well.
