This is not a move that a company makes from a position of strength. I like Musk and frequently defend his decisions, and there's no love lost between me and Meta. But Musks's trigger happy litigiousness is pathetic. His obsession with scrapers scraping public content is extremely cringe and betrays his fundamental misalignment with the open web. The fact that Zuck is planning to make Threads compatible with ActivityPub (presumably) is hilarious, especially considering that Musk originally promised to "turn the platform into “something new that’s decentralized.”" [0]).

- fsociety 3y agoThere was a time when Facebook almost became decentralized, long long ago. It is promising to see this line of thought repeat with Threads. My only hesitancy is how the product will evolve, but the saying always goes “you don’t mess with the Zuck”.
