The exchange is about Meta’s upcoming ActivityPub-enabled network Threads. Meta is calling for a meeting, his response is priceless!

    I think the whole reddit debacle has shown (again) that corporations and social networks don’t mix.

    What’s Metas main incentive? Money, obviously.

    What do people want? Social networking without bills, ads or privacy issues.

    Those two things are incompatible.

      I don’t think that’s true. Obviously we all think like that which is why we’re here, but most people are still on reddit/twitter because they don’t care about any of that, they only care about the content/experience

      I agree with what you’re saying, but remember that open source software cannot happen without individual contributions and donations. If you have some money to spare, even just $1 dollar, please consider donating it to the developer of Lemmy. It’s obviously not a requirement, but it helps keep the project going!
