Unfortunately, I believe the embrace, extend extinguish, model needs to be taken into account.

Here is some food for thought, if you or anyone else hasn't seen it yet.
Embrace, extend, extinguish is exactly what first came to my mind when I heard about threads planning to federate. I think it is a huge risk.
Everyone has seen it, it isn't food for thought. It's a Microsoft playbook from the 90s/early 00s that wasn't even targeting open source software and wasn't even successful as a means of targeting competitive freeware.
Dude quit being a dick. You work for Facebook or something? This is a real conversation. This isn't reddit, this isn't facebook, this isn't twitter. We don't just dunk on people here.
How on earth is that "dunking"? Disagreeing with you is being a dick now? Jesus lol
