I dare you to make a convincing business case for Facebook spending a single cent trying to capture a fraction of the second group, when it’s less than a percent the size of the first group.
The idea of an independent fediverse is very dangerous to traditional social media and it’s worth its weight in gold to destroy it, especially before it gets too big.
And dare I add, DUH.
All of this is really obvious stuff that we’ve seen happen to hundreds of new technologies and small companies before. The idea that “no, it won’t happen to us, because reasons” is just sad.
Oooof that is some grade A copium.
