Your idea doesn’t sound too difficult to implement but I don’t know if people would want to store all these messages locally when the vast majority of people are used to having their shit be stored elsewhere. Additionally, if you wanted to target enterprise users, they would want to likely have all their messages centralised for auditing purposes

Other than that, I think its a pretty neat idea

Maybe also archive the reddit page on the wayback machine and add the link to the post? So in the event that you needed the original you could still view it without giving traffic to reddit.

Not to sound like a naïve, brain dead optimist but maybe this is our chance to draw our line in the sand. If Threads falls on its face, it will likely serve as precedence for other companies who think they can use the fediverse for their own gain, no?

As Louis Rossmann says, “never go to war with the internet because you will lose”. I’d like to think that the people who make that quote possible are all migrating or have migrated to the fediverse.

I’ve actually had a lot of success explaining this all like email; where you and I can create our accounts on different “email services” (instances) yet still be be able to communicate. Using something so ingrained in every day life makes it much more approachable, imo.

Once that concept is understood, simply saying that the fediverse, aka everyone who uses this technology, has alternatives to most of the major social media sites is not beyond most people. I mean, we’re all here, right?

The fact that the hackers have added revoking the API changes to their list of demands… 😂
