Dude lucked out on a friendster lookalike and has never come up with a successful original idea since. Also, is he putting on a fake tan in that tumbnail?

    I would bet money on the fake tan

    Maybe he's laid off the suncream since the last time the papparazi got him:

    Their VR Chat clone didn't quite pan out. Their Twitter clone didn't quite pan out. Onto the Reddit clone.

    Technically it was a mastodon clone

    i'm curious: what makes it a mastodon clone over a twitter clone?

    Threads' plan is to implement the ActivityPub protocol, the one the fediverse is based on.

    In theory threads could then be federated with other ActivityPub servers (Mastodon and Lemmy for example).

    In practice, many instance admins saw it as meta's way to invade that space with their own proprietary bullshit on top of it so they can progressively take control of it. So many decided to block threads as soon as it would be able to federate with their instance.

    Of course the community blocked it. They didn't even try to disguise their EEE attempt (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish). Duh.

    And this isn't the first time. Back in the day Facebook messenger was actually fully XMPP federation compatible! But they pulled the plug on that.

    One thing I don't understand is why they just didn't buy vrchat or one of the others that are even better. Like spatial or viverse.

    Would have been a lot simpler and effective than throwing billion after billion at it.

    I mean Microsoft did buy altspacevr and completely screwed it up when they made 'mesh' but Microsoft screws everything up, that's just what they do. It would have been easy to do better than that.

    Mark Zuckerberg is one of the worst humans alive. Right below Trump, Netanyahu, and Elon. They all gotta go.

    Can we make it a top 10? I propose Martin Shkrelly, Sam Altman and Peter Thiel for 6,7 and 8th spots

    ...and communities you care about

    Has meta ever invented anything? I always thought it was ironic he called out apple for iPhone and then doing nothing, but all they've successfully created was Facebook, they bought everything else and illegally sold our data to get rich

    "Perhaps to spice things up a bit, this time around, Meta is also including a dedicated AI assistant in the app."

    Looks like we've found an even better way to keep the stupidest people off Lemmy.

    I wish it was actually a decent reddit replacement, if reddit wasnt the only option and ppl got used to using more than one service they would be more open to trying lemmy too, it's why I wanted digg to succeed

    Let them fight. It’ll be entertaining. If we’re incredibly lucky (we won’t be incredibly lucky) they’ll find a way to bankrupt each other.

    Lemme guess, there won't be any "sort by" and instead the AI will give us post that the clank think we want?

    And Reddit looks a lot like all those dialup BBS s that we used to have back in the 80s or 90s, can't remember. Before the web. Someone would post an article or maybe a picture, others would comment on it. It's all the same shit, same basic format, even here. Only the quality of people is different.

    It would be fantastic if the app could join the Fediverse community, similar to Lemmy than Reddit

    Meta actually did the same with mastodon, a lot instances blocked them before federation was turned on. People who use Lemmy are not likely to be up for a tech bro to be federating with them.

    That said I'm sure you'll be able to find and join an instance that would do it if you want it.
