“Millionaire hit with $20 antitrust fine in Spain”

lol

Bold of you to assume anyone on here will be able to claim social security before it goes kaput

That was a good read, totally changed my position. Thank you.

Zucc is a greedy asshole, but I think he knows when to sit back, and let the smarter people make decisions.

Musk is an arrogant, insufferable fuck. Epitome of a know-it-all.

Pitting two piles of shit against each other does not make the winner any better.

Can someone explain to me why people are so violently opposed to this?

If Threads blows up, and ActivityPub is integrated, you’ll have access to all of it through any federated instance. No need to let Meta sap all your data to view it or communicate with it’s users. Meta can’t kill ActivityPub or force us onto Threads, just abandon it and leave us back where we are today. If you don’t like the Meta users, just make or join an instance that isn’t federated.

Anyone can scrape the metaverse data and use it for whatever, Meta included. Them implementing ActivityPub doesn’t change anything about that.

Look I don’t like Meta as much as the next guy, but this all just seems like illogical gatekeeping

Edit: I understand now, see: XMPP and Google. Good article someone replied to me with, down below.

I’d only heard of Kbin, Lemmy, Mastodon, and Peertube until now. Pixelfed looks cool, Owncast and Misskey are too but I don’t watch streamers or microblog so.

Great read, and right on the nose. Louis Rossman has a good video discussing this issue, especially Reddit’s role in all of it. Forgot the title, but its pretty recent.

The “golden days” of internet social media platforms are gone. It was fun while it lasted, but these companies were BLEEDING venture capitalist money, and at some point they have to show a profit. That time is now, and it’s ugly.

Great simplification tbh.
