  • I think (do correct if wrong!) the EU has approved an interoperability law for big tech companies? So it should be just a matter of time until you can switch messaging app and still be able to communicate with people on wa and big messaging apps

    Ofc if your friends all use whatsapp zuck will still be able to read all your messages and get your phone number via your contacts… so it’s only a partial solution. Still better than nothing tho.



  • This is the way i see the situation:

    Letting meta join the fediverse means they will captivate the general audience and the fediverse will stop growing. Realizing this, it could lead a lot of contributors to the lemmy/mastodon/activitypub projects lose interest, which will slow down development and could eventually lead to the death of the fediverse project.

    This is how it goes:

    People get accustomed to all the content from Meta/Threads

    Meta adds extra features to their website which do not work with other fediverse instances

    People switch from lemmy/mastodon to threads or join threads directly and never ever consider joining the real fediverse.

    The fediverse project either dies down or remains a niche project forever.
