    Ding ding ding, we have a winner! I don’t understand how people aren’t seeing this, it’s blatantly obvious.

    Twitter is absolutely the short term, immediate “blood in the water” target. It’s not a coincidence that Threads is using ActivityPub though, it was a very calculated move.

    Mastodon and the fediverse at large are the long term targets, Meta knowz they can’t destroy them entirely(thanks, FOSS and decentralization!), but they don’t have to. The thing some people miss when hearing about EEE is you don’t need to fully eliminate competition for it to be considered “extinguished”. Your competition can still be 100% functional and usable, but if they have 1% market share to your 99%, they’re effectively extinguished and you’ll be the leading influence on that market.
