Twitter is looking to sue Meta for "stealing trade secrets" amongst other things regarding Threads. Could/would they also take aim at Mastodon? - eviltoast

Given that threads is aping Mastodon, could they come after front ends here? Or is this just megacorp slap fighting/ an unexpected (but maybe predictable) outcome of the Twitter staff purges?

    Obviously a good thing to keep the “allegedly”, but that statement doesn’t refute what the other person claimed. They said Meta hired them, not Meta put them in the Threads team.

    Also I obviously don’t know how Meta is structured, but where I’m at, it wouldn’t be unusual for someone not part of a team to still talk to members of a team, give advice, etc.
