      I was one of the people who thought meta joining the fediverse could be good, but that convinced me that we need to keep them out.

      Thanks for posting that

        It could be good, but it won’t be.

        Even if their current intentions are honest, someday that will change and some exec or VP will see an untapped revenue source and exploit it.

          It’s meta. Their intentions are never honest.

            The point you’re missing is that it doesn’t matter if their intentions are honest or not now because even if they are (that conditional is a seriously important word there!) there’s no way to ensure they will remain that way.

            There is no safe way to bring surveillance capitalism into a commons, no matter how pure the motive may or may not be at the moment.

        Does Meta have a plan to stop Fediverse instances from defederating with meta?

        Unlike consumers, server hosts and admins have actual material stakes in the Fediverse and are fully capable of coordination. So rather than an ineffective consumer boycott, there’d be actual power behind it.
