    Fediverse is very promising, but how did building Twitter alternative become free labor for rich people?

      I think he means that by contributing to the likes of threads legitimises the platform. And when you “create content” there, then you’re essentially doing free labour for the venture capitalists, since their asset is only valuable if people use it.

        I’m unsure of the reliability of laws protecting an open source project from getting swallowed up, if Threads has a presence in the fediverse. Especially with a partisan Supreme Court.
