At this point I’m convinced that the Fediverse integration is just a means of marketing for them. Everyone should boycott the cockteasing bastards.
I’m not sure of what I’m talking about exactly, but I vaguely suspect that integrating with the fediverse will make some of their less ethical practices at tumbler too transparent and obvious.
But that is one part hunch and one part cynical belief, I don’t know of the details

I am more surprised than I should be at how quickly the Fedi pitch went from “we want a future where everything is interoperable everywhere” to “we don’t want any interaction with for profit companies”.
I don’t mind either way, it’s all bad and I shouldn’t be here in the first place, but… you know, it’s weird seeing social patterns develop in real time.
Fedi is not homogeneus. Each server interacts with who it wants. You could say multiple fedis exist at the same time, and both pitches represent different people.
Yeah, well, don’t tell them. The fields of Mastodon are still full of the debris of the Great Threads Arguments. Seemed to me everybody thought they had the correct and only Fedi.

Isn’t this good, to make sure whoever the account is, is the genuine person? Or is it bad because the arbiter of said genuineness is bluesky, and I assume there’s a payment for it?
Might be a sign fediverse isn’t gaining momentum.
Or might be a sign that capitalists wanna keep on siloing their networks once the hype has cooled down.

No shit. AFAIK Tumblr us circling the drain as it is and barely able to keep the lights on
What’s the point of being “advertiser friendly” of everyone leaves because of it.
It makes shareholders feel a simulacra of emotion for a brief moment.
