Don't see why people are doing this. You'll just damage the fediverse and discourage meta from federating, granting them their own walled garden that you cannot use without selling your soul to them, which is going to dissuade people from using Mastodon as what's the point if people on threads cannot see what they have

You need to read up on how Google destroyed XMPP and come back and edit your comment.

That's Google, not Meta

Damn, I think everyone missed that detail! We're talking about two completely different companies here -- my mind is blown! Just look at the Hemming distance between "Google" and "Meta"! I'm convinced! Meta will never follow Google's footsteps.

Now how about you take a nice, cold shower and re-think your comment.

Meta have shown interest in supporting decentralised networks, such as wanting to create a decentralised metaverse

[-] phraxen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just like Google showed interest in XMPP?

you actually think corporations will always keep their word, don't you

and that somehow Google acting like it does is like some fluke or one bad apple or something, rather than Google acting in ways very normal and common to corporations
