Not sure if you are trolling, but no
Meta is joining the Fediverse not because it needs the people currently on the Fediverse, but because it needs a regulatory figleaf to protect itself from monopoly charges. At Meta’s scale, there are 0 users on the Fediverse right now. There is no market benefit to getting Fediverse people to move to Meta
What Meta gets out Threads/Fediverse compat is that suddenly Instagram is not technically a walled garden with platform lock-in, so while the number of people who’ll migrate from Instagram Threads to the Fediverse is going to be tiny they suddenly look a lot less like a mean monopoly to regulators
At some point they might remove the Fediverse compat. The people currently screaming about embrace-extend-and-extinguish because Meta is joining will then scream about bait-and-switch even though they’ve had Threads defederated the whole time. The Fediverse will still be there. That’s the cycle of life

Assange is a rapist that works for Russian intelligence. Notice how he has never once published anything that puts Russia or US Republicans in bad light
He’s so smart that he fled a country that doesn’t extradite to the US (Sweden) to a country that does (UK)
A new challenge with open submissions would be low effort AI spam. Scifi magazines are buckling under the tidal wave of crud right now https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/25/23613752/ai-generated-short-stories-literary-magazines-clarkesworld-science-fiction
I left in November and deleted my account in December. Mastodon/the Fediverse is what I always wanted Twitter to be but it never was
Oh, I forgot about these. These songs are so lovely to catch up on
I’m sure I saw an interesting article about it many years ago, but this is the best I can find right now: https://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/comments/ql0bsd/what_time_signature_is_the_tng_theme/
The time signature (I had to Google) starts in the common 4/4 but then switches into 12/8 or 6/8 which has a lot of flavour
Now that they have an option for residential on top of commercial, offices not being on top of commercial sticks out to me
It’s why Pizza Pizza has a history of being voted as Toronto’s best pizza chain despite selling cardboard with red paint on it as food
