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.

    People have made every point to be made already in the comments, so I’ll just say I’m here as a user of lemm.ee to put my vote towards de-federating from Threads. And frankly, from any other corporate entity that intends to bastardise the Fediverse.
