the value prop of decentralized social is becoming mainstream. the head of instagram spends 50% of his announcement video (0:37) talking about how they will be integrating with ActivityPub protocol and why decentralized social networks matter for creators. https://twitter.com/mosseri/status/1676757469534511104?s=20
meta is building decentralized twitter sooner than elon ironic
i would be very impressed if they actually integrated well with ActivityPub it's a lot harder than people think
Blackrock CEO “BTC is gold”? Meta integrates Mastodon? Wth did I wake up to today?
It's just a mastodon fork owned by meta to be fully honest
pure marketing to steer narrative away from monopoly talk and align with open-source branding. 0% of threads users care about the decentralization aspect, and the fediverse value prop is nonexistent
let's remember that Mosseri gave this TED talk on the creator economy, NFTs, blockchain,... last year. there was nothing wrong with this talk, imho. but we know what happened to NFTs and Instagram. I'd say, Mosseri gets it but can't deliver in the constraints of Meta
My only concern with this person is that he rooted as well for nfts and they removed it in less than a month. I still believe that nfts in Instagram would be a banger.
Hate to say this but this is classic Facebook bullshit. Make some polite noises and then keep doing the same shitty things.
Yes, what a grand idea. Give the immediate and largest reigns of decentralized social to the main reason we wanted decentralized social to begin with.. 🙄
Talking about it is a good sign. We'll see if they implement it
