Absolutely. You should see some of the handwringing going on over the idea that the mere existence of Threads is a scheme designed specifically and only to destroy the fediverse (as opposed to, y’know, their actual competition, Twitter). Way too many people throwing around the phrase Embrace, Extend, Exterminate without actually understanding what it means or how it might realistically apply to this situation.
Like, let’s be clear, Threads sucks, and there are plenty of good reasons to defederate with it. But it’s not a plot to destroy us. Zuck doesn’t even know we exist.
Yeah, lol. But tbh threads can get outta hand but if Lemmy is doomed the next thing will have risen up 3 years ago and will have a small but enthusiastic community waiting for us.
Are people really saying “the fediverse is doomed”?

Isn’t it “embrace, extend, exterminate”?
Wait I thought it was “embrace, extend, extinguish”?
