So, a year from now the big instances will have lost all their users…

I think their strategy is not gonna work. Meta is universally hated by everyone using the Fediverde now. The majority of Mastodon / Lemmy users are here looking for alternatives.

Also, I dont think Facebook and Instagram users are looking for a Twitter alternative.

Also, Meta is good buying stuff (Instagram, WhatsApp) but they have a history of trying new apps that are never successful.

I predict Meta Threads will close in a couple of months.

Elon Musk Urges Mr Beast to Post Videos on Twitter for Equal Earnings

Very pathetic Elon. It will not make any sense to the man who build an empire on YouTube to post videos on Twitter or any other social media. It's not about the money, it's about braniding. Mr Beast is a Youtube icon. And it would not be a suprise I'd they have some contracts with YouTube.

If Elon wants to compete he needs to focus on new talents who use Twitter as their main and only plataform, similar to what Twitch does. Probably he should give Vines a second chance. I think it was Twitter error to close it. Now shorts and streaming are on demand.

Trying to steal other platforms talents is just nonsense.

Probamos Threads: la nueva red social de Meta lo tiene (casi) todo para hacerle competencia a Twitter

Yo sospecho de sus intenciones de participar de forma federada... ¿Economías al no tener que desarrollar un backend desde cero? ¿Piensan dominar el mercado? De todas formas Facebook ha tenido otros fracasos con nuevas aplicaciónes que han intentado lanzar desde cero (WhatsApp e Instagram fueron adquiridos). Me parece que los usuarios de Instagram y Facebook no están interesados en una aplicación como Twitter y que los usuarios en el Fediverde jamás utilizarían una aplicación de Meta. Creo que en par de meses escucharemos de su cierre debido a la pica acogida.

US 'clear' on sending F-16s to Türkiye

They are not pro United States, but I don't think they are against America. They have a big modern army, and a good strategic position. They are pro Ukrania and against Russia imperialism. They are looking for their own benefit in every negotiation and sometimes that doesn't align with what the West wants and that's makes some people thinks Turkey = bad. It is a Muslim majority country and they have a lot of cultural differences with the cultural christian west. Some people have beef against the president Erdogan. I don't like him either but he is not the dictator some people wants us to belive. Like it or not, he won the last election fair and square. People can be against him but that's how democracy works. In general, I think they are an ally, the type who doesn't want to take direct orders or doesn't want you to tell them what to do.
