    They can scrape that data withiut federating. Anyone can, there’s a public API. And I suspect once they federate Threads, Mastodon will be a tiny share of the resulting fediverse.

    No to say they won’t ingest all that data, of course, they’ll get their hands on everything they can, but I doubt it’s the primary motivation behind it.



  • I did a short stint as a video editor at a local news channel. Had one colleague who made it a point to lean back and touch the keyboard as little as humanly possible, and use the mouse for everything. It was excruciating to watch him work. He was fairly experienced btw, so I’m sure he could have done the work much quicker, he just chose not to.


  • It would be great to have a way for communities to voluntarily marge and consolidate once things settle down. I can already see a lot of fragmentation of topics that honestly are never going to be big enough to sustain multiple communities. The flip side of that is that rogue mods could abuse that to merge unrelated subreddits, I guess.

    Otherwise, “multireddits” would be great, it was the main way I accessed the other site.
