Who didn't this coming? Seriously, meta will take what they want to increase the capital and makes everything else invisible.
Fediverse isn't here to say yes to everything. We have the freedom to say no and this is the power of the fediverse. It's allowing and denying. And Meta is a threat to the fediverse.
This also could cause a Streisand effect, just like Elon Musk did it with Stonetoss and Hans Kristian Graebener.
Musk and neonazi artist Stonetoss? Tell me more
After a lot of data-diving, people doxx Stonetoss. They found two live recordings, which confirm he was RedPanels. On gab, he used an email starting with hgraebener, then further data diving confirms his name.
While it wasn't 100% sure to this point, he begun blocking any leftist accounts he could, then beg Elon to "protect free speech", which pretty much confirms it.
Extreme crackdown on doxxing begin. People reported timeouts just for posting the name, or the link to Know Your Meme about Stonetoss, which now contains the doxx, as well the memes related to it.
Mastodon's CEO, apparently.
That is a stunning display of naïveté.
Can you give more I go on what you think will happen instead? I don't doubt it's naive, but it was my first impression. However, trying to extend skepticism to this, I guess the scenario is that threads federates, uses existing community to grow, becomes significantly larger, then starts creating proprietary protocols to draw users to its own app then enshittifies it.
I assume you meant threat. Otherwise I misunderstood the rest of your comment dramatically :D
