#Meta's #Threads wanting to federate with the #fediverse (if that will ever happen 🤞🏻) is a form of #gentrification. A large corporate shopping mall settles in a nice neighborhood with small local run shops and community centers. The new shopping small says 'if we settle here, more people will come, and you all will benefit'. A few years later all small shops are bankrupt and the community is destroyed. What remains is a barren corporate landscape.

Excellent analogy.

@aral
happened in real life just 0,5 km up the road from where I live (except it wasn't that nice a neighbourhood, and the local shops were already failing). The big supermarket is still there, and the remaining local shops next door struggle (if they aren't providing a service totally different to the supermarket).

What has also permanently changed is about 300 m^2 of communal space has also gone, all made into a car park for the supermarket..

@aral is it though? I suspect most Fedizens aren't going to switch to Threads...so the Mom n Pops in the analogy don't lose anything. How does Threads 'kill' the Masto instances on this scenario?

If either we or Threads defederated...we end up exactly where we are now, no? Just us on ActivityPub protocol.
