Here's what I found in the source code:
My sides went into orbit. ASCII art and a message to people reading the source? I did this with my blog in the 00s!
Yup, basically. They'll throw whatever they have near them at you; and this is just my guess but I think that they have enough of a theory of mind to think "I don't like poop smell so you don't like it either".
I also feel like the time when the other guy grabs the cage he was trying to find a way out, to get rid of the annoyers.
Their joining the fediverse will be more disruptive than their leaving it I think
Eternal September-like? It's possible.
The chimps were not dancing, or playing. They are clearly pissed. The "dance" and noises are ways to say "this is our territory, not yours, back off". Throwing the ball is an act of aggression, but since nobody took a clue he made it even clearer with poop.

They can pull it - most users in Threads will be interacting with other Threads users and content. Mastodon will be simply "that ideologically weird corner", and in practice they won't miss it.
For scale: Threads currently has 100M users. The Fediverse as a whole has 1.5M.
I'm not sure but I do think that evolution played a big role here. Probably not for the reasons in the OP, but because it's a way to convert grass into portable food with decent long-term storage (cheese). This is huge for migratory populations, but still helpful for sedentary ones due to winter.
The core of the software will be intact, but the community will be broken - because once Threads pulls the plug (EEE), instead of a stable community you'll have a shrinking one.
Apologies, I suppose. I read it as “perhaps, except in Twitters case.”
Apology accepted. I also apologise for the tone.
If you want my opinion on Twitter: I'm not too informed on the platform but I think that he did it on purpose, and due to stupidity. He is a right-wing sociopath and a moron with enough money to become too big to fail.
A smart but malicious person in Musk's shoes would've likely introduced the changes slowly, boiling the frogs there, shifting the Overton window to the right, in a way that benefits rich people in detriment to everyone else - because that would benefit Musk himself. Twitter as "the international commons" makes it valuable for anyone to spread shitty discourses there, in a way that they reach governments directly.
But instead of seizing the tool for his own purposes, he broke it.
This is just a guess, but I think that the likelihood of Twitter federating is almost to zero, unless forced by legislations to do so. It simply doesn't benefit from that, since every group and individual leaving Twitter might as well defederate it, and odds are that the upper echelon there knows it.
Instead I think that Twitter will try to associate the Fediverse with terrorists and what have you, to indirectly smear shit into its competitor Faecesbook/Threats.
It's both, it depends on context.
Here I mean a Fediverse that is mostly controlled by Threads.
and you think it’s impossible for him to have destroyed the platform that used to be the international commons on purpose???
Don't be a liar. Or worse, assumptive trash eager to put words onto the others' mouths.
I did not say anything remotely interpretable as that. I literally said "Perhaps, in Twitter's case. I don't know."
Please justify your reasoning, I can’t wait.
I'm not justifying the claim that you're lying (or assuming) that I made.
Please go back to Reddit, where assumptiveness and illiteracy are praised and cheered.
[I apologise to other users in this community for my tone, but I think that it's warranted here.]
I do it fairly often. Usually when:
In Lemmy it's usually the first thing.
