People keep parroting this but won’t explain how it could happen to the fediverse. As in, actual steps. Because Flipboard federated and I’m not flooded with news posts. Mastodon is used for Nazi instances and I’m not flooded by Nazi content, even if the maintainer don’t block that particular instace due to not knowing it exists.
Care to explain exactly how EEE will happen?
EDIT: thank you for those who took the time to write a clear and technical responses, there are really good point worth considering that a didn’t read anywhere else.
From a more technical standpoint, I believe the idea is more like:
Embrace: Adhere to the fediverse standards to make Threads compatible and be a part of the overall userbase.
Extend: Add more functionality to the standard so that thread users get functionality that other fediverse users do not. This is where they would make it difficult for open-source devs to try and implement the same features in their software.
Extinguish: Finally, when enough of the userbase has been siphoned to their proprietary platform, cease compatibility with the fediverse and leave the old standard to die.
So basically the same thing you said. We can sort of see this with Google trying to make websites only be compatible with Chrome.
You keep parroting this to try and distract people from walked, tried, tested History. As in, actual steps that happened. And asking to be “explained” how History happened. That’s called sealioning.
