I'm calling it now.

The sheer number of #Zuckerberg (and others) #quislings in the #Fediverse is going to kill it. Inside of five years #independent, #distributed #SocialMedia will be dead for all practical purposes, and the people holding the daggers covered in its blood will be those who were inside it.

#Facebook's "#Threads" was a test of the Fediverse and the Fediverse has failed with stunning rapidity. Inside of five years we'll be back to #corporatist #AntisocialMedia

Enjoy the ads!

@dsfgs @fsf I don't know what any of the TLAs here mean. :'D

I just know that inviting 100,000,000 people into a network of 2,000,000 (most optimistic possible count!) is going to be a festering disaster. The culture is going to be swamped utterly.

@sour @fsf @dsfgs The pro-/ crowd is just number-obsessed. They think more people means more legitimacy or something. The fact that the Fediverse is small is for me the appeal; for them it is a source of shame or something.

They want Zuckerborg's (sic) "connect all teh thingz!" ethos, forgetting about things like "community" and "consent" and other soft things you can't attach numbers to easily.
