What if Meta’s hidden objective behind the Threads-to-Mastodon initiative is a play on app.net? And, what if threads.net is a measured step towards what could be the greatest pivot in all of tech?

        There’s nothing wrong with the people who use it. It’s their choice. I just don’t want that content in my space.

          The only space that is truly “yours” in the Fediverse is the one concerning your feed and the data you create.

            It’s my instance and the ones it federates with.

            I can move instance or host my own if I don’t agree with my current ones choices.

              Do you treat the people on the same instance as you as “taking your space”? Wouldn’t it better to think of it as shared, which means that it is not really yours or anyone else’s?

                  And I am talking about the people on the networks, whether it is Facebook or the instances themselves.

                  You want to say “I don’t want Meta to come”, but what about the people who are there?

                    I dont mind, we are letting in a group that has a diffrent culture then ours. The fear is that if

                    • we grow too fast
                    • there is unreconcilable cultural diffrences
                    • or a technological barrier for communication,

                    then the smaller side’s culture will get clobbered.

      Who is “they”? Your family? School/Work colleagues? People you share interests and that you know in meatspace?
