I only partly live under a rock, so I’ve now heard that the Facebooks is making Threads, and it’ll talk to Mastodon.

Any idea how to keep them from taking over? Apparently, you’re a weirdo these days if you use Firefox, Brave/Qwant, and trust FLOSS > proprietary.

    Well the coorporations have always used/misused FOSS tech. Take Chromium and VSCode as an example.

    This is exactly what is going to happen, you will not be able to separate proprietary crap from FOSS and it will be applied to fediverse in the same manner.

    But there is a silver lining, all this will have a side-effect of normies knowing a lot about fediverse (for better or worse).
