Ill move to server that has defederated meta completely

Fuck letting the Zuckin billionaire into this party! Build your own shit communities with your own shitty user base

Defederate.

They can have a corporate silo. They can use an open standard. But they cannot do anything good for the fediverse. The best thing for the fediverse is to let them exist as a walled garden (and we can put up the wall).

There are about 10 million users on the free fediverse. That number has grown steadily and sustainably. There are 160 million threads users. They were instantaneously leveraged onto the platform by a billion dollar corporation (possibly in violation of antitrust laws).

If we federate, Threads won’t become a part of the fediverse; threads will become the fediverse.

EEE

<sigh> I’ll miss my cozy little Lemmy…

The upsides are apparent for the platform, but there’s no denying that change will be inevitable for all of us, whether some instances choose to defederate or not.

With about a thousand new daily sign ups to mastodon it feels like it is going back to its rapid degrowth that it has been on before the Twitter debacle.

I know there’s a ton of skepticism about Meta entering the fediverse — it’s completely understandable,” Cottle says. “I do want to kind of make a plea that I think everyone on the team has really good intentions. We really want to be a good member of the community and give people the ability to experience what the fediverse is.”

Your intentions mean exactly nothing when you’re being paid by Zuckerberg.

It also doesn’t actually matter what you intend, because the problem isn’t just what the platform can do, it’s about Meta being in this space and trying to stake a claim in it. We came here to escape you. Go the fuck away.

Fuck Zuckerberg!!
