I’m not sure how valid that criticism is. Reddit’s search is abysmal as well, doesn’t seem to have hurt them.

That’s a bit harsh. More like “useful idiots” to quote Lenin.

Amazon’s core business is AWS, which is worth more than 60% of the market cap. Amazon’s advertising business generates half the profits of AWS and has even faster growth, so should be worth 30% of Amazon’s market cap. The only conclusion is that Wall Street considers Amazon’s e-commerce to be nearly worthless other than as a loss-leader for Ads, and it should thus not be considered their “core business”.

I can imagine all sorts of technical points like how the firehose will be load-balanced so as to not overwhelm any instance, or what metadata they should include in their feeds. Meta also has a lot of AI and moderation expertise that could be of benefit to the Fediverse once it grows into an attractive enough target for the troll farms and spambots.

Quite frankly, the sooner that festering cesspool that is Twitter is killed off, the better off the planet will be. If it takes Meta to wean the talking heads like Oprah from Twitter, so be it. It would be better if Oprah set up her own instance, but that’s unlikely to happen, media businesses still haven’t understood they need to take control over their distribution rather than the easy way of going through big social networks that will stab them in the back when expedient like Facebook deprioritizing media outlets from users’ feeds.

Don’t forget Svelte. That said, traction means more developers trained in any tech stack, that’s why my previous company ditched Vue for React circa 2016, Vue seemed destined for oblivion and irrelevance at the time.
