I agree, but I've changed my stance to a wait and see approach. This is what we think will happen, will probably happen, and what I'm interested most of all in, is how Lemmy.world responds once things come to pass. I've got agency here to switch to another perfectly good instance that doesn't federate with Threads, so if Lemmy.world allows social toxicity to prosper...I'll just leave. The Fediverse rocks.
Watch Meta try to patent the concept of Federation
If anybody can patent it, it's the W3C who holds it.
Aaron Swartz was working on self hosted social media before ycombinator merged his product with what became reddit.
Facebook is a little too late to the game to get any credit.
Technically Mark was late to the game on social media* but he just fucked the guys over who made FB and took it for himself...
