    Every couple days someone seems to post something that is essentially shilling for billionaire back social media in the fediverse and I don’t understand it. If you all love Meta and BlueSky so much, surely you would want to protect them and keep them as they are? Instead of boring us with this bullshit, why not post there?

    And as for the conversation about how Meta’s logo is more recognisable and scalable, have a word with yourself. If Meta were as good citizens as you’re painting them to be, why would they start out by trying to change things that are established and recognisable?
