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?
Either start pitching realistic changes that can help protect the protocol or kindly stop posting this stuff. Everyone now has a pages long article all saying the same thing, and no one actually suggesting changes that could help.
You’re right, we should all stop talking about and discussing problems and risks. And silently stare at each other tille someone else comes up with a fully featured solution and nothing less!
I think what they’re saying is that we’re beating step 1 to death. Do that enough and people start ignoring the articles
If all the articles are saying the same thing, it’s not adding much to the discussion.
I think I see the problem. Theirs no path to step 4 in your workflow.
Yeah, what this guy said 👍
At this point more people have spent time trying to figure out for Meta how they could EEE the fediverse then people have spent trying to make Libre fediverse better.
I mean y’all if want to spend your time thinking of cool and exciting ways meta can better extinguish the fediverse post it to LinkedIn and try to get on their payroll at least.
That’s my main point exactly. We all know it’s a threat, it’s been talked about to the point of annoyance here. We all have heard EEE here now. Anyone have ideas on how to prevent that from happening though?
That's obvious. The question is how to stop them.
I feel like I see the same kind of post everyday.
Fear mongering.
I skimmed the article and it was a bit different from the usual “here’s the definition of EEE and what I copied from the history section of the wiki page”
I agree we need less of the above though
The “as a service” business model is interesting. It may be a good funding path for mastodon, lemmy devs etc…
Many hate the “as a service” model, you might need to elaborate on how it will be implemented.
Lots of options here TBH and I haven’t put much thought into it. Providing a service by running and managing software updates, migrations etc…, is one. MongoDB Atlas and Confluent Cloud are good examples of what I had in mind.
Why do people hate the “as a service” model?
Dear God I Hope Not.

Sigh…
No. We’ll just make a new mastodon/ lemmy-verse without them. Its easy enough. At a certain point the world needs to understand that its these companies, not the format, we’re avoiding.

“We” are a minority share of the market and no one really cares about “us”. “We” are irrelevant and we will keep being irrelevant unless we start actual and effective evangelizing for an open web.
This is not just about “avoiding”, it’s about fighting for culture change.

Eh I’m pretty happy if they just stay over there haha

I’m fine with that personally. I’d much rather have a small social network containing people who are like me (at least in some respects) than a huge one filled with people I hate and garbage AI content.

Won’t matter if they can just repeat the same trick. We have to do something… now.
Lmaydev@programming.dev 10 months ago
We can’t really do anything. We’re like less than 1% of the market and the rest don’t care.
Just keep them defederated and there’s not a lot they can do.

You are here, you are doing something. If they start with the bullshit we defederate them. (Or build new tech to keep corp influence in check, whatever we want.)
Point is: at some point me getting updates from Aunt Ethel matters a lot less to me than controlling my privacy and living my life without being advertised to every second.
