Entirely possible, yes.

And how will this extinguish the fediverse? We'll still all be here, won't we?

More people isn't always good. But imagine some organizations and journalists that for whatever reason still are on Twitter can now be persuaded to sign up to Threads. Well, now they're in the fediverse.

And if the content from Threads is overwhelmingly bad we can always defederate and the fediverse still isn't destroyed.

So, how do I picture the extinguish part?

yeah, that's kind of an issue. Many communities exist more than once on multiple instances. Then again, this can also be a benefit. Maybe one of them isn't to your liking -> choose another one. Or one of them goes down -> there's a backup.

I like this answer. Thanks!

How do you feel about people joking about and using 404 far off from HTTP?

Also: yay, AMAs have finally arrived. Who’s gonna verify your identity, though?

Sounds a bit like Switzerland

I see where you’re coming from but to me anything related to programming goes.

If you don’t want that then point people to the right communities and delete unfitting posts. I guess that’s the only way to keep it clean. As a side effect, this may actually help other more specific communities in the long run.

wtf

Slightly related: someone needs to organize a celebrity AMA on Lemmy to let people know that there’s a new sheriff in town (or something like that).

That phrase makes perfect sense, though
