I agree it's a stupid company, but I don't see why we should work against them if they finally decide to so something kinda good.

Yea but how are they going to extinguish an non-centralized social network?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They enter the Fediverse, use ActivityPub, begin adding some "extensions" to it and suddenly everyone has to play cat and mouse with the new extensions because Meta has 90% of the users. Then, some time later, Meta says they don't see the need to be federated anymore and pull the plug, disconnecting everyone in the Fediverse from 90% (or more) of the users and from the communities that live on the Meta side.

Just look at what happened with Jabber and Google Talk.

Lmfao doing good?! Facebook spread right wing nationalism/fascism internationally and on purpose. FOH with your bad faith commentary.*

Not necessarily threads, but to remain wide open isn't necessarily the best policy. Or so I assume this to be the point they were making.

No. This argument is stupid
