My main complaint with #Meta joining the #Fediverse via #Project92 / #Barcelona / #Thread is not that they're a big company, but that they'll disrupt the network as a whole.

The long-term endgame here will probably be #Meta no longer properly federating with other software like #Mastodon and #Pleroma, forming its own little "metaverse" and federating with other big tech sites, like #Tumblr.

Short term, there are other consequences, like instances getting strained under the weight of all the new users.

And yes, #Meta is probably doing "embrace, extend, extinguish" here. Interestingly enough, the tactics here aren't all too different than #Mastodon's tactics when it refused to support the large wealth of features found on software like #Friendica and #GNUSocial, but the main difference is #Mastodon is #FOSS, while #Meta's new project is not. #Pleroma can adapt to #Mastodon changes, even if #Mastodon breaks something on purpose, because #Mastodon is #FOSS and therefore we can see how it works. That's not a luxury we can enjoy with #Meta's new software tbh.

I don't think the proper approach is the join the #Fedipact though. Remember what happened with #Gab? Tons of people left that site and joined the #Fediverse instead, and not the site is off on its own floundering in irrelevancy somewhere. This moment here is yet another opportunity for use to try to convince more people to switch from using corporate software to using #FOSS software for social media.

@dwaltiz Also we already had our influx of cancer with poast

@dwaltiz While it'll be annoying at first, it's still good in the sense that the fediverse is growing. Imagine if in the twitter days you could just swap moderators and keep posting. It's like that, even with normies everywhere. The worse meta could do is block your instance, in which case the based side of the network has more than enough users to keep you happy

"Oh, but we can't allow some big entity to just come in and force their server implementation on everyone else!"

You already did that years ago.

Throwback to the @realcaseyrollins interview in 2020, on Gab.

so one of the billionares presumably killed by the sub has a WEF page holy shit lmao
