@evan as much as I would love to watch YouTube videos from PeerTube without ads, there's no incentive for Google to do that. It wouldn't bring on any new users to YouTube and it would reduce ad revenue. More work for less money means it'll never happen.
Same situation with Instagram, sadly. -

@prushforth Yes, that would be pretty cool. We could definitely use a good place vocabulary, and it would be cool to also federate the location-sharing functionality.

@evan yes, that's what I mean. For Threads the incentive is a huge influx of new users (mainly ex-Twitter but also Mastodon users) to Meta platforms. Instagram would not gain any new users from federating. It would just give us the ability to follow Instagram users from Pixelfed without seeing ads and Meta wouldn't benefit from that.

@evan I've said strong yes, but I don't think it'll happen because it's not compatible with their business model.

@evan Should it federate for the benfit of its audience and content producers? Yes. Should it federate for the benefit of its shareholders? Not a chance (imho).

@evan i don't see the point of this poll. They won't. Ever. Why would they?
-
@evan we already have peertube.

@evan you forgot "it's up to them"

@markdarb can you imagine any conditions where it would be beneficial to them?

@jszym you can't imagine any situation where it would be beneficial to YouTube to federate?

@nlupo we are allowed to have other choices.

@CartyBoston it's ok to tell companies what they should do.

@evan Qualified yes. They should support open standards, but without some sort of accountability, they could remove it at any time, or pervert any federation to harm the fediverse... It would be foolish to rely on it in the current climate. Perhaps some government mandate, like the adversarial interoperability Cory Doctorow has proposed?
Also their moderation is so bad that it's been radicalizing people into Nazis, so federation might make fedi more Nazi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right_pipeline

@skyfaller "pervert any federation to harm the fediverse"?
What is that supposed to mean?
