Not sure that’s right.
Mind you, I fully agree with you on Bluesky, but I think Threads really isn’t much different.
For example, say this integration is fully accomplished. Fediverse users wouldn’t have a real reason to switch to Threads, but because Threads is a much larger platform all future users are gonna go there, and not to the rest of the Fediverse. That, already, I think is an issue. Then, because it’s a bigger platform, most communities are gonna start to be populated mostly by Threads users - simply because numbers rule. The 2nd E comes into play: extend. The protocols are extended. At first, it might not be enough to switch - just some quality of life changes, maybe - but the more stuff is added, the more the experience for the Threads users - aka, the majority of the users on any given community on the Fediverse - starts to diverge from the rest of the users. Now, at this point, a Fediverse user has two choices: either ignore this, or switch. Sure, many will just ignore it - the people on the Fediverse right now are the kind of people that would tend to ignore that, anyway - but plenty won’t, because it’s SOCIAL media. SOCIAL! If your experience differs significantly from your peers, that will bother you, and you will want to change, especially if you’re in the crushing minority.
Embrace, extend, extinguish.
Hey, maybe I’m wrong! Hopefully, even. However, I do see it happening. Hope I got my point across.

It’s only EEE if it’s an entity that could be reasonable expected to do it.
Sure, Piefed could adopt ActivityPub, extend it with proprietary capabilities, and then use that to strongly disadvantage its competitors. However, Piefed is a fully open-source project without ads or any money-making aspect at all, started by some random dude from New Zealand. Not exactly prime EEE grounds, you know?

- Comment on How do you charge an electric car without a credit card? 2 weeks ago:
This post is so thoroughly confusing to me.
Charge your car at home, of course! That’s what makes them so good! You can charge them on regular outlets, but you can also get a thing installed that makes it faster. No credit card required.

Meh… I think it works, but they’re by far the weakest here.

OK, no, because I’m a huge cheese strategist. Feta and gorgonzola haunt my waking mind like specters of gastronomical pleasure, wraiths of fermented delight.
- Comment on I always hope for a horsey 3 weeks ago:
I read this as “cheese” instead of “chess” and was really confused for a sec…

I suppose that makes sense.

Yeah, what Blaze said…
This is a huge pain in the ass, though… A shame they couldn’t keep Lemm.ee up…

.world isn’t defederated from .ml? I thought it was, for some reason… Well, it is the admin instance so, I guess.
- Comment on Guess I'm on the right track 😌 3 weeks ago:
Not sure about half their free time, but it does seem that anti-.ml sentiment is the reason, yes.

Uh, are you serious? Why? What did you even say?
- Comment on Too bad we can't all act like this 3 weeks ago:
Fair enough haha
- Comment on Too bad we can't all act like this 3 weeks ago:
I’m really not sure about that…
- Comment on Too bad we can't all act like this 3 weeks ago:
I guess I just don’t interact with enough people.
- Comment on Too bad we can't all act like this 3 weeks ago:
I mean, aren’t most people like this? I feel like most people are like this.
- Comment on Don't Look Up 3 weeks ago:
Maybe, but I think there’s something much more insidious going on here than a random person with weird delusions. I think this is a symptom of the panic narrative that’s being boosted all over the world by far-right parties and candidates, social media, and incompetent - or at least misguided - news networks.
If you keep hearing about how the big evil is all around you - it’s your neighbors that looks different, your colleagues with a weird accent - and that that evil is coming to get you sooner rather than later, then when you see something that looks different than usual, what are you gonna think it is? The big evil you’ve been hearing so much about, of course.
This time, it’s some old lady thinking paragliders are Hamas, but many times it’s some other people saying “the gays” are trying to spread communism and infect the children.

The title is a hilarious pun, I think.
It can either mean “Devil Policewoman” or “Disrespect to the very end.”
- Comment on Whats the best way to deep dive into learning a language without apps? 5 weeks ago:
It might be best to start with some basic grammar, phonetics, and vocab, especially with some languages, but comprehensible input is really the only right answer here.

Yeah, that’s what I did! It looks so cute, though, I feel like maybe it’s worth reading based on that alone, for some people.
