I cam here to get away from all the corporate BS, but suddenly people want to welcome Facebook/Meta to the fediverse? I cannot fathom how people see their intentions as pure or innocent, especially since they aim to profit off of the open source software everyone has worked so hard on.
I just don’t see how the fediverse survives if it decides to let these massive companies make their instances. It feels like it’ll be a repeat of the rise of social media, where all the smaller forms got wiped out by large, consolidated social media platforms.
I really think a Fediverse separate from monetized social media is a healthier Fediverse.
We have a good thing going here. Let’s not invite the wolves into our little hen house.
Tbh if Lemm.ee doesn’t defederate then I’ll probably be moving on to a different instance.
