I usually like to give people the benefit of the doubt and say maybe there was an idiot parked next to them that left, and now they look like the idiot. But that’s egregiously bad.
I’ve seen one case where this was necessary although it looked equally awful (in a handicap spot, which this is not) because some asshole had originally parked half in a handicap spot, so a van with a motorized ramp didn’t have the space to extend it fully to get people out. So it had to take up both spots to extend the ramp.
None of which appears to apply in this picture, the owner of that car is just a jerk.
Will they though? From what I can tell, Mastodon/lemmy users would get ad free access to threads content without turning over any personal data. If I’m not off base on that, that seems like a thing that meta is going to avoid.
I don’t want trash from meta crowding up the place and would probably leave a server that federated with threads but I am pretty sure that’s never going to happen.
Honestly I think it’s far more mundane than that. I suspect it’s engineers at meta re-using an existing open codebase to kickstart a new product, then leadership further up the chain liking it for efficiency plus hedging on future compliance challenges
It could even be that ActivityPub solves infrastructure issues that have been quietly internally plaguing Meta and that’s why they’re excitedly embracing ActivityPub for Threads
I’m guilty of this as well, but perhaps it’s time to acknowledge that people can have differing opinions and be vocal about them without being bots or trolls.
I’m sorry for having behaved rude just because some people have a different take on this war. I mean, unless they’re as obvious as the government sponsored bullshit on Twitter where 3 accounts write the same crap in the same thread. 🌚
