Meta's Threads.net sure looks a lot like App.net. Is Meta due for a pivot? The legislation the company supports suggests yes.

What if Meta’s hidden objective behind the Threads-to-Mastodon initiative is a play on app.net? And, what if threads.net is a measured step towards what could be the greatest pivot in all of tech?

    You’re right, we should all stop talking about and discussing problems and risks. And silently stare at each other tille someone else comes up with a solution.

    Step 1 in fixing a problem is to recognize and get awareness for it.

    Step 2 is garnering interest from the people who are qualified to actually make realistic proposals

    Step 3 is collaborating on ideas to figure out what will or won’t be effective, and to create new ideas by returning to step 2.

    Step 4 is to circle back to step 1, but for actions and implementations. Repeat ad nauseum.

    **We’re Still in Step 1. ** Complaining that we aren’t getting to the next step quick enough without providing assistance to get there is incredibly meta to this process 🤔
