YSK: Threads soon joining the fediverse.

I personally feel as if its like polluting the fediverse!
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm interested in seeing how the enshittification of Threads will unfold. It's all super neat and cozy right now with a clean UI, no ads, not many sign up nags, and such. When they build up their userbase, we'll see how the platform devolves.
This article sums up what has happened a few times already: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
This isn’t any different.
Thanks for that article, was a great read. Hope history doesn't repeat.
That is its own YSK. I finally understand, as a non-engineer, why the hell Google has fucked with so many different chat programs since 2004 and the online/offline of messaging program stuff. Finally seeing the walls.
I said in a different thread but: It's a good, and very scary, reading but I would argue that it does not directly translate here because Lemmy / Kbin and Reddit are not social media per se, they are content focused instead of being person focus. Here no one cares who you are, we are all here for content. The XMPP EEE succeeded because once defederated people were not able to talk to their friends, defederating Threads would cut us off from strangers and their content, it's not a big deal.
We'll see what happens, hopefully the Fediverse will not be another free social media attempt killed by greedy corporates.
