    I hope the instance admins defederate with any corporate owned instance as soon as they become a thing. If they become the main voices on the fediverse the will kill it.

        I also expect lemmy.ml to defederate since Dessalines and Nutomic admin it. I have an account on Lemmygrad as a “safe house” from enshittification, but I intend to keep it mainly for my studies and be able to still use this one for general crap (hello Genshin Impact).

        Hope lemmy.world admins don’t be too naive about Meta.

          What’s the story here, then? Is Meta planning to just slide into the federated world? That can’t be taken in good faith. It’s got shareholders! If they’re federating, it’ll be to corner the federated world.

          Like Threads isn’t going to play nice with Twitter; they both want the same users, exclusively. If these ghoul-corps do federate, they will have a plan to advertise across the fediverse. Other instances might not accept advertising but it won’t stop armies of advertiser bots.

          They’ll do the same with politics. We might even already be seeing the start of it. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that what’s happening to Twitter and Reddit is by design so that users jump to the next thing, where three letter and advertising agencies (instructed by the bourgeoisie) are already setting up shop in the dark – where they’ll be harder to see. They realised where the future was and cut their losses.

          Maybe I’m just a crank.

            Yup, Meta is planning to implement ActiveHub (the protocol Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin and others use to communicate with each other) and federate with us. We’re better off blocking them.

              I wouldn’t be surprised if they set up some Lemmy and Mastodon instances to create a faux fediverse and divert people from the grass roots one. If I were them, I’d already be doing it…

                They probably already are, or at the very least they plan to do so.
