So...on the topic of EEE, he says here that if it happens we're basically back where we started. I'm not expert, but it feels like he's overlooking the social aspect of this.
If a huge chunk of our friends are on Threads, and then Meta yanks back support of it, won't mastodon users just switch to Meta to keep their old friendships going?
I think the social capital is the essence of EEE, is it not? For me the lack of adds and freedom is great but I suspect that's not the norm.
