that reminds me of Apple with iMessage
the general strategie is called “embrace, extend, extinguish”. This strat is the reason, why everyone uses MS Office today

A failed messaging system that nobody in the world uses except for the Americans?
How sweet.
Hadriscus@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Well, yes, I think that’s the one.

I think you upset the americans 😆

I’m not American and I still downvoted the asshole. Sorry. Assholes.

As opposed to Threads stealing all brands companies and users anyway?
There’s still advantages to a fediverse and ways to defend against “embrace extend extinguish” if you plan ahead.

The extend-phase is when people migrate to threads, who would have stayed in the fediverse otherwise.

You think groups that came here largely fleeing Reddit and Twitter are going to be tempted to go to threads? I doubt it very heavily. Threads is more likely to loose people to here if anything. You’re probably also one of those that think Google killed XMPP.

And why would you expect there to be many such people? I’d assume the intersection of people who like the Fediverse and people who like proprietary social media to be pretty small.
