Just finished the video. The whole thing came across as fairly naive and seemed mostly focused on Threads and thinking about the fediverse as an extension/ only making it because of Threads. I think it should be noted that on both Mastadon and lemmy, the bigger players on the thrediverse, its specficially and culturally “against” the kind of ownership model that facebook brings to the table. Because of this i think Facebooks involvement deserves more scrutiny, specifically, if they think they can become dominant over the activity pub/ different federated apps development, they can take control.
Which should be real concern for all of us. Meta is a bad company of effectively all bad faith actors. And I didn’t see anything challenging the underlying presumptions the portend these companies. What I saw was some tech adjacent content creators with one big name creator as anchor effectively discussing how to colonize the fediverse.
My opinion is that we need free and open and un-owned spaces on the internet.
I’m not interested in threads and I generally think we should distrust any large companies involvement in the threadiverse beyond simply having an account.
