Embrace, Extend, Enforce (ƎƎƎ): A practical Strategy against potentially abusive Instances like Meta’s Threads

TL;DR: The common view on Meta’s Threads is that it will be either all good or all bad, leading to oversimplified and at the end contra productive propositions like the Fedipact. But in reality, it’s behaviour will most likely change dynamically over time, and therefore, to prevent us getting in a position, in which Threads can actually perform EEE on us, we need to adapt a dynamic strategy as well.

They will take everything and shit on it.

What’s the point in being here if the corporations are coming here?

We'll probably have to move to a new internet. Dibs on calling it the "Freediverse".

Before, in the olden times, the internet was just a bunch of random websites and forums and IRC AND USEnet.

Now it’s, “Where SHOULD I GO to be seen others and be validated?!?!”

I sound old. And I am. But,

Do you people want others on fedi or not? Jesus Christ.

Devs: make thing

Others: use thing

You: stop it!

I just thought the fediverse was going to be free of corporate/advertising/tracking shit-show.

If it isn’t going to be free of corporate bullshit why be here instead of Instagram or Twitter or Facebook?

What is the difference? None.

I used to care. But now? I don’t care where people go on the internet. Why be invested in fediverse if the fediverse is just another FaceBook?
