Big Money never plays nice. We've already seen this scenario and we likely know how it will end before it begins!

This is an open space by definition and they're going to sit down hard in it until they're satisfied they've drained all the value they can take with them.

This reminds me of the murder of Usenet and the recurring attempted murder of RSS.

I still mourn the loss of Google Reader.

Feedly is a good replacement, though.

I use TheOldReader.com and have the app installed on my Android and even can post directly to Mastodon from within it.

It is my godsend.

@paul @david @HistoPol Commercial entities are incentivized to kill off anything that's competition at all costs. So yea they're gonna do that to the fediverse if allowed to encroach without any guard rails (if allowed at all to engage with it).

There must be some idea of defense at play. There are smarter people than us in the Fediverse who must have anticipated this Big Money drop, right?

Most certainly.

But, as in most cases, maybe except for some smaller instances, did they really do anything about it.

I think this issue of #BarbarianInvasions of commercial proprietary social-media sites through #ActivityPub is important enough to involve @Gargron.

To repeat my stance, as I do not see a feasible solution for limiting the influx of #Metas #DefederateMeta
Offer them some "easy sign-on", limited in daily number, so the #Fediverse is not...

...technically and culturally annihilated, or rather, assimiliated by the #BorgSites.
