  • Threads exists for the sole purpose of capturing some of the people showing interest in the fediverse as twitter dies and keeping them in the facebook ecosystem. Once it believes it has exhausted this window of opportunity it will defederate just as it de-federated it’s xmmp based messenger service once it thought it had the upperhand.

    Every server that defederates from meta preemptively is working to build a resilient community that will survive this inevitable scenario. Every server that federates with meta will become dependent on it then collapse as their users leave to join threads once that becomes their only option to continue interacting with the threads users that their social experience was built on.

    Your post only concerns threats to an individual user re scraping or malicious interactions. The threat meta poses to the fediverse is systemic. In the long run the meta-blocking servers are the fediverse. The meta-federating servers might see some short term attention but in the long run will have the same fate as those that hitched their wagons to the metaverse.


  • “cashless” EFT is annoying and you become highly aware of it whenever it takes a few tries to work

    cash is also annoying because you got to lug it around, count it, takes longer to exchange than even a difficult electronic transaction that took a few times to work, and then you get change that is even more annoying to carry despite being worth less. A lot of older people have become accustomed enough to these annoyances for them to become invisible but they are still there.

    Both are annoying as fuck though, with “cashless” EFT rapidly over taking cash because the majority consider it to be the less annoying of the two.

    to really make life easier though we need the option that isn’t being entertained which is true cashless, ie; a moneyless society.
