As far as I can tell Filecoin works by having clients pay to store files on people’s servers so there’s still a question of who is going to pay for it.

This is a great (free) illustrated book about logical fallacies:

I think the u/Kes put it really well. People on fediverse platforms are already staunchly opposed to big tech so they have no reason to leave for platform made by Meta of all people.

If they really wanted to they could already do that by setting up an instance and not publicly announcing it.

I personally believe that Meta never intended Threads to be support Activitypub and just chose it so they could do the bare minimum to comply with the EU digital markets act.

Honestly this is why the whole “Meta will kill the fediverse” thing people were saying never really convinced me. They just don’t seem to care, I mean it’s been a month and they still have no real plans to actually federate.

Why don’t you want gifs?

I had it saved on my phone and Memmy auto uploads images to Imgur.

Edit: added xkcd links

If all instagram users counted they would have 2 billion users. I dislike Meta as much as the next guy but let’s not pretend threads isn’t ridiculously popular.

Accessing threads from mastodon is significantly more private than downloading the official app.
