   OH on Threads: “DINO — decentralized in name only”. Interesting concept.

   Whether it will apply to #Threads or not we can’t tell yet imho but I wonder whether it would make sense to come up with a list of criteria a product/service would have to meet to be DINO or not be DINO.

     @manlycoffee @J12t they do have engineers, and iirc, they have contributed to fediverse projects through collaborations.

     No other fediverse project financially supports any other project (officially, to my knowledge).

     Features that can't be federated are fine. Mastodon-glitch's local-only posts are one example, same with platforms with payments built in.

     DINO:

     - claims to have engineers "working on integrating with ActivityPub"
     - not contributing to other projects at all, nor supporting them financially
     - implementing features that can't be federated
     - privileging local posts
     - strategy involves maximizing MAU of their platform

     Tim Chambers repeated this.
