Alternatively, maybe silicon valley tech bros live in an alternate reality where the fediverse is mainstream, and Zuckerbot thinks he’s just joining in on a popular thing. Idk how he expects to make money on this though. Maybe it’s just a way to make shareholders excited so they throw money at him.
I’d say it’s more hopping on the buzzword train and maybe even following through. Although you can check my comment history I don’t much about this federation and instance stuff I don’t see how a for profit company finds a home in a non profit whatever-lemmy-is. Plus on top of that even if they somehow did become prominent I’m sure all the lemmy admins would eventually great a single server or small network servers that are private from meta
I’m not an expert on how the social media make money, but from what i know it is created upon the information they gather (either personnal information or content, that they can then sell to advertisers or thing like that). So the more data they collect, the more they are able to sell i guess ? And i think that because fediverse already generates data for free (and will do so more and more), people in the business of selling this kind of data are eager to get access it
Only my humble opinion, not sure at all if this is theway it works
This could be something!
It would indeed be one of the things that exist
Yes true! I personally will never use it because it’s meta!!

They have other ways to gain aside from data collection. Manipulation of public opinion is another possibility.
