#Meta's #Threads wanting to federate with the #fediverse (if that will ever happen 🤞🏻) is a form of #gentrification. A large corporate shopping mall settles in a nice neighborhood with small local run shops and community centers. The new shopping mall says 'if we settle here, more people will come, and you all will benefit'. A few years later all small shops are bankrupt and the community is destroyed. What remains is a barren corporate landscape.

    Me too. I’m betting on Threads being the last nail in the coffin for Twitter. My second bet and extremely unpopular opinion is that Threads will be a good thing for Mastodon.

    I do not have an Instagram account and will not be joining Threads either, but i am cautiously optimistic.
