I’m sure there will be instances that remain federated with them, and you can join those… or just join Threadstagram.
This is what I'm thinking. I don't understand why people fled from the corporate internet only to be excited to go back to them.
Defederating with Threads is a great way to make people “go back to them”, so I’m not sure what your point is.
The corporate internet is adopting an open protocol. I find that to be exciting. It's not us "going back" to the corporate internet, it's the corporate internet coming to us.
All of the corporate internet adopted open protocols in the first place. Expand your limited view and increase your awareness of the history of the networks as they evolved before Google, Microsoft, and Apple were beginning and end of tech. We got to now with open protocols. Now everything is being walled up by DRM since theyve managed to preintegrate it in all of the hardware across the board before the open protocols even come into play.
