I guess I represent a generation that experienced Microsofts' EEE very well in the 90ies. Threads is nothing like that. With it's mass of Mio accounts I consider Thread as a threat.

The important thing is that people have the ability to federate (or not) with whomever they want. Having that choice is a giant step from not having any choice. I'm a browser war veteran and I'm treating Threads with caution -- and always have a plan 'B'. Incidentally I developed this plan 'B' because of EEE tactics pursued by Mastodon, not Meta.

Fighting a closed community by closing your community means they've already won. I've been working on the fediverse a very long time. We have weapons and tactics you aren't even aware of.

Cheers.

@TheTomas @maegul @fediversenews I hate Outlook and think it’s from the bowels of hell. And yet, I would never say it has nothing to do with email. I doubt you would say otherwise either.
