Are people really saying "the fediverse is doomed"?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Absolutely. You should see some of the handwringing going on over the idea that the mere existence of Threads is a scheme designed specifically and only to destroy the fediverse (as opposed to, y'know, their actual competition, Twitter). Way too many people throwing around the phrase Embrace, Extend, Exterminate without actually understanding what it means or how it might realistically apply to this situation.

Like, let's be clear, Threads sucks, and there are plenty of good reasons to defederate with it. But it's not a plot to destroy us. Zuck doesn't even know we exist.

Isn't it "embrace, extend, exterminate"?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Yes lmao.

Guy who literally doesn't even know what EEE stands for: Meta isn't trying to EEE the fediverse, you guys don't understand what EEE even is!!1! Meta totally hasn't even heard of us guys, this is only about twitter!!

It is. People forget things. Get over it.

Wait I thought it was "embrace, extend, extinguish"?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That's the more common variant, but "embrace, extend, exterminate" is also used.
