But the nice happy guys coding the thing now are not the ones who are going to make the decisions later which will bring about the extend + extinguish phases, the ads, the crypto or whatever form the enshittification takes.
Until meta starts to slowly block small instances and we end up with the next email. Technically federated, but controlled by a few large corporations that dictates the block lists. Let us block them first so we get to define what the fediverse should look like, not them.
This is what I don’t get about the anti-Meta paranoia. Their worst case scenario is… exactly the same as we have now. They can’t make every single instance hand them over their whole userbases, that’s not how federation works.
I get why they don’t like Meta, but I have friends who use Facebook and Instagram, and maybe it would be nice if they could get a taste of the Fediverse experience. We might end up gaining more than Meta.
It’s quite disarming, isn’t it?

I want to be a good enough friend to encourage my friends to stay away from Meta. I don’t want to enable them.
