The recent excitement surrounding Thread’s arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don’t roll out the red carpet for them.

A small Mastodon mascot is happy to roll out a red carpet to welcome the footsteps of Meta; a representation of the death, a skeleton in a black robe with a scythe. This one has a head band with the Meta logo, and a keychain with large logo of What's App, Facebook, Instagram and Threads. The skeletons walks happily while hidding the scythe on their back. This is a representation of how naive the tiny Mastodon can be.

Shmandom,

Remember when Gchat was federated with XMPP, and the federation was dropped when it wasn’t serving Google’s needs anymore?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Shmandom,

And then I run into this 5 min later… Seems like Pepperidge Farm is in good company!

Find several articles that aren’t blogposts that point to XMPP being dead because of Google

shiveyarbles,

Reminds me of that Dolph lundgren movie…

We come in peace…

Go in pieces!

Feels like a remake of XMPP Jabber federation
