You know what would be useful? A link to the article you’re referring to. I’m guessing https://smarthomescene.com/guides/how-to-build-a-stable-and-robust-zigbee-network/

• but that doesn’t contain the word ‘debouncing’, so >shrug<

Yeh, clearly the only reason I might have a differing opinion is because I'm being paid by Threads. Sheesh

I don't see how you argue that. Most companies today have some form of salary bill. Giving corporations a massive incentive to automate away lower paid jobs does not spread wealth.

I'm quite intrigued as to what our modern world would look with corporation's - what? - assets? - capped at $999 milion. It costs about $120m to build a single container ship, a Boeing 737-700 costs about $89m, Amazon set aside $1bn to film its Lord of the Ring series.

Probably the end of multi-nationals, I guess. Interesting

I think Threads federation may actually help with. I’m trying to persuade a health body at the moment to switch from Twitter and to roll their own Mastodon instance, based on the fact that what they really want is the widget on the website, control of their data and the ability to reach people.

Twitter has already screwed the widget with the login/authentication requirements. If
Threads actually allows its users to see Mastodon posts, that’s a big old reachable audience.

When the “large” voices leave in significant numbers - in the UK it is used wildly by public sector and charity organisations, there are official governmental Twitter accounts, all the broadcasters have accounts.
