#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.

Do not underestimate GAFAM's "humour"
g00gle tried to open an EU campus/headquarter at the former Stasi HQ [Berlin, Kreuzbergn − Kreuzbergn has become more gentrified and is known for its arts scene.] and also a "“third”place" in Rennes, France, Rue de la Monnaie [Currency street ; well described as bucolic / antic] − without paying any taxes and duties in EU.
#Meta #facebook #Threads continues this sense of humour. They know what they're playing for

•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..

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