It’s hard to predict but the extinguish part would come from bigger non-Threads instances implementing compatibility with Thread-only extensions (in the interest of their users, or for money) and fragmenting the community. Threads then becomes the defacto ActivityPub standard. Maybe some instances stay true to the standard but with extremely reduced communities because now they can’t see what other instances are publishing. So now you have to decide between your ideals and your social network. At best, you’re back to square 0.

If they become so ubiquitous that all you see are Threads messages, all they have to do is start adding their own extensions to ActivityPub and degrade the experience of everyone who is not using their app.

C’est rapide maintenant ! Ça fait du bien il faut le dire.

Je pense que les réseaux sociaux auraient une ambiance sensiblement meilleure s’ils encourageaient la communication non-verbale dans les commentaires. Par exemple à travers un système d’emojis pour annoter certains passages, ou tout autre moyen qui permette de tisser un rapport émotionnel avec la personne avec laquelle on parle.
