Competition is useless, better to have federated networks and do videos for profit and find other ways to pay for content to support content creators if they need support. Block ads everywhere, work in those fields is better than calling for competition and creating competitor that will win over google and become new google.
There will be adblocker to block this also don't worry.
firefox is not that clear, they get funding by google for putting google as default search engine thus helping google. We have a problem with FOSS funding
that is a whip
Just to clarify, this post is not meant to glorify startups! Startups also have CEO and it’s same as first line in the meme.
This post is meant to start a discussion and to highlight the effects big tech having on FOSS.
It’s aginst big tech not aginst FOSS!
Obviously yes
I think we are on same page, I am aginst federating with threads
Same how google killed xmpp, how big tech killed email. Meta and big tech are just too powerful and they can destroy, takeover fedi with resources they have.
Disagree, federating with meta will kill the fedi. It will put all power in big tech.
Yes, that would be a great idea because it would free the email protocol taken over by all big tech.
How you think threads is helping in that ?
That is naive look on it. Meta(Facebook) is a company, it's always company interest and only company interest. The idea of fediverse is to stay out of data tracking, user profiling, not to help it in any way. Connecting with meta is workoing aginst fediverse. It might be a mistake fediverse never recovers from, even now it's really small fedi community.
Why would we as fedi users, mods and admins help meta or any other company, for what, for their interest that they sell on "we love fediverse", "cusotmer first" bla bla bla.
They can put as much ads as they wan't they will be blocked, and there always will be a way to block them.
