When I join threadiverse (summer 2023), soon everyone was talking about Threads and how it was about to destroy the whole thing.
Then nothing came of it and the whole convo kinda vanished.
Why didn’t threads destroy threadiverse already?

Seems easy enough to answer: why has covid not wiped us out and is it not a problem?
The answer is it could have wiped us out and might still if we throw away all our carefulness.
Threads has at least 10x the users of the whole fediverse and they will have a huge majority, governed by meta a non democratic entity, taking part in a democratic system. Only a fool wouldn’t see this become a problem.
And it already has been in the past. It even has a name: EEE embrace, expand, extinguish. Its what google did with xmpp.
So yes, the problem is still there although it never goes as fast as it seems at first.
Microsoft did EEE alot
indeed. thats why its actually pretty good we’re going through this now since we have the opportunity to take this sh*t seriously and try to stop that practise
