Enshittification had already been largely discussed here.

I saw users minimizing the aberrant business practices of Meta and doubting their role in assisting in genocide.

My point was to highlight how unethical and horrendous Meta itself is.

There's a word for that too: "corporation" 🤷

On a wider scale, can't spell "ethics" with "business practices" anyway.

Back on topic, Threads is only a problem for the "All" feed of federated instances with users senselessly following people from Threads, while defederating won't stop Meta, or anyone, from syphoning and abusing any publicly available data from the Fediverse. Other than that, Meta's algorithms have no power here, the Fediverse isn't Meta's playground even if all instances federated with Threads.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
