No, there’s no indication that Meta cares about the Fediverse.
This is all just a bunch of hype. Yes, of course we’ll defederate if they try. I think that’s fairly obvious.

Uh, we need participation from everyone in order for the fediverse to have legitimacy. We unfortunately need those cringe users if we want large scale adoption. Without it everything stays small scale, developers aren’t attracted to the concept and people leave for functioning alternatives.
There’s a 90% probability that Threads takes over from the failing Twitter. Nothing will change. No one will learn anything. More of everyone’s data will be stollen.
I still have a 8700K and haven’t really had the need to upgrade in a while. I’ll never buy a processor with something like this in it. If Microsoft forces it in new CPUs, I’m pretty sure I can make it the rest of my life with current hardware.
Yeah this is a good point.
It took me months to actually start using Lemmy and Mastodon. I would consider myself a tech savvy person and it still took a while getting used too. I think there need to be better tutorials linked on the sign-up pages that help people understand the basic concepts. That would help drive true user acquisition.
The beauty of the fediverse is that the last panel can’t happen.
We control our own instances. There’s no world where admins wouldn’t defederate from any Facebook attempt to barge in.
Maybe a few larger instances sell out, but users hold the power here now. If an admin betrays our trust, we’ll just make a new instance.
I have supported Discord with a nitro subscription for as long as I’ve had an account. It’s a terrific program and there’s no reason to expect premium features for nothing in return. The mentality that everything should be free is why we have so many fucking ad driven online business models and I’m over it. I pay for what I use if it’s a good service.
