@dalias that’s why I called out the past twenty years: I remember RSS. I remember XMPP. Yes, both standards still exist, but they are diminished, because they’ve literally run the same playbook before (also google, obvs). It’s just about making sure the “average” user doesn’t even get the idea in their head that anything outside corporate control exists. They will sever the connection the moment enough people default to just signing up for Threads to post/read here.
