    The question here is: how many users should we expect Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, with all the cash hoard of Meta behind it, to be able to get together for a new app?

    30 mil sounds like peanuts in that context. Aren’t there like a billion people on Meta’s properties?

      It is peanuts to Meta but not to others like Masterdon and the Fediverse. It’s also enough of a message to the likes of Twitter to be seen as a threat.

      It goes to show how monopolized the social converse is these days online.
