Microsoft has been slowly but surely enshittifying Windows, while trying to inject AI into everything, and I am completely over it.

There has been a ton of discussion about Meta's impending entrance into the Fediverse. Many people are rightly concerned, for a variety of very good reasons. The tech bros want you to know that it doesn't matter though, Meta is so big that they're going to scrape the Fediverse and consume all of your data, whether you Federate or not. There's nothing you can do, so why do you care?

Meta is working on a new social media platform called Threads, and their plan is to make it compatible with the ActivityPub protocol. Many influential people within the Fediverse see this as a victory for the protocol, and are planning on federating with Meta's new platform. I think this is a huge mistake, and we should band together to defederate Meta.
