Honesty, I'm betting on the traffic from them melting servers once things are fully implemented on metas end. If the silicon lives, next is the mods getting overwhelmed.
In the future im assuming they are going to put out a set of shareholder friendly rules to federate that grow ever harsher. All hell will break loose when the first admin kneels to that.
Theoretically, that might be their plan.
They could get their service federating, and then sell instances to potential admins who cant afford the hardware to deal with a threads spammed fediverse. They could rent out fediverse virtual servers on their physical servers just like Salesforce does(or now, AWS, servers, just like Salesforce does.)
Not a lawyer(Am a dev though). That might get them out of the legal responsibility to moderate content since it might fall to the instance admin to organize that.
Then they can have a twitter and reddit competitor that requires no content policing on their part. And they control the hardware and servers behind the scenes, so they get to insert ads and scrape all of the data.
i agree. at worst, its just traffic volume and moderation issues. just like every other big instance.
theres zero danger of meta extinguishing the protocol. the whole EEE comparison needs to end. the only way would be for the verse to capitulate to the threads server to allow some bell/whistle bastardization of the AP protocol, and no one is going to do that. even the meta friendly instances would sooner defederate than adopt some meta-specific thing.
too bad that doesnt stop the meta-hate boner across the verse.
Why are you even here? If you want zuck to gluck your throat so bad go suck him off on his own website.
Stop running interference for evil.
very immature. you sound 8. you should make better choices.
I already did: not to defend meta.
Your turn.
If we don't give them the chance in the first place, then we won't lose anything.
Why are you so eager to make a deal with a known evil?
It's a trust issue. They have a bad reputation and a lot of power. The hate is well earned.
Gee, I wonder where all that immotivated hate comes from!
