    I… had not thought of the situation from that perspective.

    On the one hand, I want to look at this and say ‘conspiracy theory’… but on the other hand I could potentially see this being possible.

    On the third hand, when in doubt, apply Hanlon’s Razor: don’t attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.

      yeah i’m not sure this theory holds water… it’s pretty obvious the community won’t just give up: everyone saw what happened with mastodon

      the fediverse is ideologically opposed to corporate and capitalist interference, so they’re just pushing people to a platform that they have even less control over, in a manner that pushes people to be more anti-capitalist, to a platform whose very existence is about being anti-corporate!

      mayyybe you could say that combined with threads the “long play” is to embrace, extend, extinguish essentially moving reddit to facebook? but that’s a stretch and a half

      i agree with hanlons razor here: spez is just a fucking egotistical moron
