LilahTovMoon, Billionaires are giving closed social networks a new hat!
Before people argue that #Bluesky is open, it's not open until there are many different servers that aren't controlled by Bluesky.
Before people argue that #Threads is open, it's not open until they implement ActivityPub (and in a fair way rather than embrace, extend, extinguish)
We've yet to see if they will actually be open.
#Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Pleroma, #Misskey, #Calckey, and others in the #Fediverse are actually open today.

Simpsons episode "Lisa vs Malibu Stacy" with Lisa taking the hat off Malibu Stacy. It's captioned "Wait, don't be fooled! It's just a regular closed social network with a stupid new overlord."
Simpsons episode "Lisa vs Malibu Stacy" with Smithers pointing and saying "But it's got a new overlord!"
