A very detailed article about the whole Meta (Instagram/Threads) vs. Fediverse discussions. It's a long read, but well-worth it if you're interested in the subject.

This too should be a selling point for the Fediverse, no? There will be Mastodon, kbin, etc. instances that do federate with Meta, and some that don't. And that's fine, because the platform encourages the choice in freedom of association.

But, as demonstrated by the quotes that begin this article, there seems to be an abstracted, ideological opposition to the idea of anyone defederatinfg with Meta. I don't necessarily want "a small community of like-minded people on a mini-Twitter" either (we'll put), but I do want my information to not be (easily) accessible to corporations who openly intend to abuse it.
