This has come to mind because all the chatter about Meta federating.

I see a lot of people saying they’d love to have that type of content here when Meta federates, and that those will be the best instances because they will have the most content, but they will still be accessible without compromising their privacy.

I truly don’t get this.

I’m not here for mass-produced content, if I wanted that, I’d be in other platforms. The beauty of these communities is they are not filled with posts that are all the same, algorithms and bots. It’s just a community of real people having conversations.

If you want mass-produced trendy content, please, consume it elsewhere, and when you are inevitably fed up, then come here and enjoy the slow-paced, real community.

PD: I hope this doesn’t come across as wall-keeping (or however it’s said lol), It’s my honest opinion.

    I feel like “great idea” and META don’t really belong in the same sentence

        Not really. Musk is a man child that is quickly becoming exposed as not the genius.

        Meta on the other hand is a large multinational that has had its hand in manipulating governments, mental health and personal image issues, conspiracy theories and genocide.

        I couldn’t give a shit if Elon attempted to move here because he’d make a balls of it. Meta should be resisted at every opportunity.

          Recall that one of the first things Elon did with Twitter was to unban fascists who had been banned for harassment & calls for violence. That’s not “childish” — that’s malicious collaboration with criminals & oppressors.

            A fair point and while I’d prefer he stayed away I still think meta is a much more dangerous entity to allow get a foothold.

        Nah dumbass billionaires are dumbass billionaires. At least Elon is doing the work for us of taking the piss out of his reputation.
