All this conversation about #Meta on #Fedi feels like the worst parts of geek culture. So technical, without understanding context or what strikes can actually do. My thoughts:
Meta will make a great app for Fedi because it has more money to throw at the task. People will start using that because it's better. It will have QTs and an algorithm. People they want to follow will be there.

Me, a stubborn old gen x’er. : “I will leave every platform, until none are left!” Im very saddened to hear “we” have caught the hungry eye of the beast. “Can’t beat em? Join em… Then beat them…”
That’s why I’m not only on kbin.social, I have a Tildes account, a Squabbles account, and other small forum accounts. I also lurk Fark, Metafilter and Hacker News. It feels like playing whack-a-mole but I’m the mole. But I figure spreading myself around will help me not have to scramble, as I did with Reddit (and Twitter, and some other forums I’m on that disappeared overnight or were infiltrated by trolls and are almost impossible to visit now).
