Mastodon's Founder & CEO Gives His Thoughts on Meta's Threads
There’s been a lot of speculation around what Threads will be and what it means for Mastodon. We’ve put together some of the most common questions and our responses based on what was launched today.
Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I'm not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.
You're viewing a single thread.
Calling Eugene Mastodon's CEO is kind of a threat. Granted he is Mastodon GHmb's CEO, but by no means is that what most people think of as mastodon. Then again he's let the #twittermigration go to his head.
Thankfully I haven't seen this, yet, from the lemmy.ml guys, the fact that lemmy.world is already bigger probably helps that too. (Well that ant they, allegedly, anti-capitalists).
I’m admittedly unfamiliar with Eugene, so was using the title listed in the blog post.
He was talking to Meta before they announced Threads and he signed an NDA. I strongly agree with @CCL@links.hackliberty.org's opinion that the recent popularity Mastodon has enjoyed has gone to his head.
Put plainly, I don't trust him at all.
You don't have to. He might have developed Mastodon but it's all open source, and he certainly doesn't "own" ActivityPub.
yeah, I wasn't referring to you, but to the author of the article.
