Yea? And they got a higher margin for that most likely. That it is a big order does not make it some kind of conspiracy.

Hanlon’s razor applies here. The margins for selling to datacenters are higher for the producers of RAM and GPU’s. The chance that it is some kind of conspiracy is very small.

Yea but how are they going to extinguish an non-centralized social network?

I agree it’s a stupid company, but I don’t see why we should work against them if they finally decide to so something kinda good.

We build this entire reddit alternative without interconnectivity with reddit, why couldn’t we do that again if threads decides to do that. People will be familiar with how lemmy works and there will be no ads here, so I don’t completely see a problem. Plus the format of lemmy is completely different from threads right?

Another layer to their technique, you just don’t understand.

0.19 allows for instance blocking, so the good tools will be available.

It’s about 24% of the userbase according to this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/6148151

How would they control it? If they do anything bad we can just defederate, right?

Is threads that bad?
