The creation of Threads based on open source may make it even harder for independent platforms like Mastodon to educate less knowledgeable Internet users that it’s an open source platform more appropriate than Threads (a closed digital garden). They may say: hey, after all, Threads is open source too. A clever move by Meta. Likewise with AI. After all, Llama AI is also open source (but we know it’s part of big tech company). Always one step ahead of the community’s ability to pull others out from under the power of big tech.
