@TyrionTargaryen @benroyce They need to own and control it all. In their worldview, it’s a zero-sum game. Any threat, however small, to their dominance must be controlled. Especially if it has legitimacy. The one thing they can’t buy is legitimacy. That’s what grassroots fediverse projects are affording them by “partnering”. The astronomic power differential in any such “partnership” is what enables embrace, extend, extinguish. It’s sad to see, over and over again.

@benroyce This.

Just because we partner with the Torment Nexus doesn’t mean we’re not working to create alternatives to the Torment Nexus.

@mray Did anyone say they’re not on the fediverse?

@AstaMcCarthy Do you even know me? :)
