I’m personally happy to take a wait and see approach

I am not. Facebook is largely responsible for poisoning the Well that is the internet. They have shown what they truly stand for. I am completely uninterested in any platform that has a single thing to do with that company.

EDIT: To add - the Fediverse is supposed to be an inclusive place…

Yes, inclusive of human beings. NOT large corporate interests. Your views are wrong and you should feel bad.

    Oh I'm sorry. I was under the mistaken impression that we were talking about billions of humans. But I see now that you have forgotten about them because you are only interested in Meta, and not the actual humans using meta.

    Also thank you so much, apparently instead of just having a debate. You immediately resort to bullying and insults.

    Guess this really is Reddit 2.0 🙄

    Those billions of humans can still be free to come use the Fediverse through non-Meta instances. Nobody's forgetting about them; just rejecting Meta's ability to exploit those people as they interact with our platforms and infrastructure. You are attempting to co-opt the language of inclusivity here. Not cool.

    But the vast majority of them don't know about the fediverse, and will stick with the status quo. They are only going to find out about the fediverse by becoming part of it, without necessarily knowing that they are becoming part of it. The vast majority of meta users, either on facebook or instagram, or even whatsapp - just want to be able to talk to their friends.

    Hey man, not cool with the dialog. That’s not the kind of place Beehaw is. This is an important discussion and you have an important voice that deserves to be heard, but that’s not the way to go about doing it. I encourage you to next time choose grace.

    Meta will try to have good content. Then they’ll add features rapidly calling them “standards”. The open source community won’t be able to keep up. Meta content will not work fully on Lemmy and other clients. People will migrate to meta controlled instances to keep the good content. The open source and community versions will end up being a pain and only for the true believers like Linux desktop.
