Woah crazyyyy, free speech absolutist capitalist seems to hate competition. I wonder why!
- Something something free market something something capitalism
- We’re treating Meta as a threat to our community too.
  
  While I personally don't, the difference between this and that is that most people here, together as a community, have decided, again together, that they don't want to federate with Meta apps because of a long history of privacy and other abuses.
  That's not the same thing as another billionaire pissed off because they are doing exactly what capitalism is "supposed to do"
  Do better or die is the whole philosophy no?
  
  Those things don't sound mutually exclusive

Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of Twitter employees
LOL, you mean all those employees you unceremoniously fired?
- I'm sure twatter would have a no compete clause if they could. Maybe they can?
  
  IANAL, but from what I understand, you can put anything you want in a contract, but it doesn't mean it's enforceable.
  So the reason why companies put in non-compete clauses is mostly because people believe it, not because it's really enforceable.
  Now if former twitter employees were still getting severance from Twitter while working at Meta, that could be an issue. But generally speaking, if you're not getting money (consideration) non-compete clauses don't matter much.
  
  Noncompetes are basically unenforceable in California, you can make people sign them but they’re about as useful as if they were made out of toilet paper
  
  I think that it is also different if you get fired. Don’t know in detail, but I assume that if they fire you without a valid cause they don’t have any grounds to complain that you did a sensitive and unique work.

Though I don't think this will happen
- Elon's mommy is going to put a stop to it again
  
  The Zucc needs to take her out for a real nice seafood dinner, then never call her again

These two need to just fuck and get it over with already
- Tshh as if Zuckerbot has a standard plug or socket for human style relations.
  
  He probably has but Elon only uses the Tesla standard plug.
  
  Zuckerbot is topologically identical to a human thank you very much. Zuckerbot even has a coelom in the appropriate segment, just as any normal human person.
  
  There is a plug. It’s in the butt.
- God dammit I came in here just to say that. I'm going to say the same thing about Marge Greene and Lauren Boebert but you probably already did that too ya jerk
- It can be one of those erotic wrestling matches. Start off fighting, end up fucking. 2-for-1 PPV special to end all PPV specials.
  
  Have you heard of SexFighting

Figure it out in the ring
- I’m very much looking forward to that fight. Whichever way it goes, we’re going to see one of earth’s biggest douchebags get beat up.
  
  Yes. Exactly. I’m here for it.
- Bring back Celebrity Death Match, please!

Fuckerberg should just send that Muskrat a poop emoji.
We should just start inciting for them to have a no-holds-bar, hell-in-a-cell, ladder, hardcore cage fight to the death. Then, when its over, we just don't open the cage.
- It's ok, it'll take Mark a few hours to unhinge his jaw and swallow Elon's corpse whole. Then he's gunna find a nice warm rock to lay on and digest.
- I think we should start putting our money where our mouths are and start eating these people and their businesses
  
  Putting our mouths where their money is? No, I don't like that after all...
- If we don't open the cage, how do we let the lions in?
  
  They can stay in their habitats; no need to bring in wildlife.
  If they’ve grown up in captivity, we can just do an intermission where someone throws a cardboard box in their enclosures and livestream it. It’ll be a hit!

Lmfao. Well, thanks for the free PR, I'm sure, because some poor secretary in his office knows there isn't jack shit they can sue over.
Not that I'm ever going to pretend to like Meta, but having competition is supposed to be the definition of his precious free market. There's even rules and everything about monopolies. Can't take issue with that unless he's ready to declare himself not a capitalist.
- You don't really need a good argument to file a lawsuit. And Musk seems petty and short-sighted enough to try it.
  I'm not particularly fond of either, so I'm gonna make some popcorn and hope this blows up into the biggest shit storm possible.

I'm confused, I thought Elon was trying to kill Twitter on purpose.
- Good ol' fash brain rot. The idols are simultaneously genius who master plan everything like 5D chess, and poor victims who are marginalized and constantly being bullied by the big bad woke.
- He has made over 200m a day since the api changes. -Some statistic I read. I.e trust me bro.

let them eat each other out
- Thanks for that horrific mental imagery.
  
  With ai we can make it a real image

I don't think it's your competitors that are the problem, Twitter.

Zuckerberg still wants that match. Decided to step into the social media ring
- All this talk of zuck fighting just reminds me of that South Park episode.
  You think you can block me?
  
  My shtyle

Lol I hope they fight and burn all the cash

Maybe that was their game with the federation stuff. "Hey we didn't start this, we were just following suit on this open source project". Anyway this logic wouldn't fly in any court, they can't have a copyright on text-based social media. They can only own their branding. Musk is just throwing a hissy fit again
- I think Elon is trying to say they're stealing IP because lots of the Twitter employees he fired went to work on Threads. This is probably where the fediverse stuff comes in clutch, as they're just implementing ActivityPub, so it's not like it's industry secrets or anything.
  
  Yeah, people have suggested they believe Meta would/did use Twitter code. I don't know why they would... Meta already has IG, which is set up almost exactly like Twitter, and if anything they could imitate code from Mastodon.

Where is my cage fight?

- Can we add lions?

Eh anyone can threaten to sue. Let me know if he finds a lawyer to file that thinks they have standing. I wonder if mom competes are valid if you get laid off. They are mostly not valid at all in California already.
- i know it's (probably) a typo, but the thought of "mom compete" clauses is cracking me up
  
  Lol, I'm leaving it!
- a lawyer that thinks they have standing
  And has confidence they’ll actually be paid.

Can't they just fist-fight each other and disappoint all of the viewers already?

I demand a match in the Thunderdome.
On the other hand, it would be the most boring match ever...like two wet noodles fighting...
- You seem to be missing that the Zuck is a martial artist and very legit athlete...

  Tbh my money is still on Zucc though, I bet he's scrappy

Sue for what? Such an entitlement. Should ford and GM sue him for competing with their car business?

Is anyone surprised Musk is throwing another hissy fit?
- Mastodon is goin end up with a Zuk

Musk’s a wallfacer
- I won't lie, I misread that as wallfucker
- That is an amazing insult.

Zucks hair looks like those tiktok vids of guys who's baber fucked their haircut up.
- How preposterous, Human Man Zuckerberg has a completely normal and decidedly regular keratin growth styling!

let them fight

Imagine if the future of Threads was, uh, hanging by a thread during the upcoming Suck vs Elmo cage match

Lemmy is the coziest place in the internet right now, it's great

Yea, well Disney should sue X-Corp on IP infringement. X-Corp was tied to the X-Men and mutants until Musk decided he would steal that.

probably not going to happen but i will prepare some popcorn just in case

Let it die

Isnt threads just lemmyverse code?
