Funny. That's exactly what Gargamel did with GNUSocial and OStatus.
@josemanuel I'm tired of people thinking up ridiculous doom scenarios.
@josemanuel Man... that's rare, but you make a good point. ;)
What I dislike though is the dogpiling upon those opinions. 'Yeah you're right!' 'No, that's ridiculous' 'Oh yeah we're doomed!' 'We should defederate now!' ... I'm reading too much of the same now, heh.
@josemanuel Yeah, we even had a whole convo earlier with Freemo and some others about Threads/Meta/Ads. But at least that's not insane heh.
@trinsec The thing is, I don't know if I would've even cared if people hadn't gotten so worked up about it. I paid at least some thought to the issue because of them, but am I as tired of the conversation as you are? Yes, I am.
