     @chrismessina@mastodon.xyz Good. Now the walled garden's gates are open in both directions.
     
     I know some folks on the non-Meta #Fediverse fear some sort of invasion, but I'm not one of 'em.
     
     I think the distributed model has achieved sufficient network effect that we're looking at a sustained period of leakage from Threads to independent instances running FOSS software.
     
     My prediction is that, long-term, opening the Walled Garden will only help the independent Fediverse eventually gain total and absolute, protocol-level dominance of social media. 8-10 years is my guess, before ActivityPub is the SMTP for social software. The HTTP. Backbone.
     
     It just makes me want to write a Star Trek LCARS interface for #Sharkey.
