1 year agoThis is how the tried and true agenda goes using Meta’s threads.net and the Fediverse as an example.
- Meta’s site gets wildly popular because of corporate backing
- Meta’s site does something on purpose to cause poor operability with the rest of the Fediverse
- People not on Meta’s site can no longer properly communicate with people on Meta’s site, they go to Meta’s site
- The Fediverse gets fractured and nobody cares because everyone is on Meta’s site
- Meta’s site is the sole survivor and the rest of the platform dies.
- Meta enshitifies their site as corporations typically do (think Twitter)
So yeah, ban the shit out of them. The proper term is defederate them, but do it with extreme prejudice.
Also why the seemingly arbitrary graduations, 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds. If it was say 10 hours in a day, 100 minutes in an hour, 100 seconds in a minute, seconds would be close to the same amount of time. Same with latitude and longitude, why 360 degrees in a circle with 60 minutes in a degree and 60 seconds in a minute.
