▲ 45 ▼ Defederate from Meta/Facebook/Threads? (ploum.net) submitted 3 years ago* by absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz to c/newzealand@lemmy.nz 9 comments fedilink hide all child comments I didn't realise that Meta was becoming/is already compatible with the Fediverse. I deleted my Facebook account long ago, I saw what it was becoming and decided I didn't need that in my life. What are everyone's thoughts on this. See: this post for where I first read about it.

If federation happens (and I actually don’t really think it will), the impact will be pretty minimal. Worst case scenario: their sheer scale means they can swamp fediverse with their spam, in which case we defederate and get back to living the good life. Best case scenario: it enables us to follow them, and them to follow us, and it just helps things grow. I reckon the best approach is a wait-and-see. Threads already looks pretty goofy, and I’m not sure it will have the same legs fediverse does. permalink fedilink source parent [+] rimu@mastodon.nzoss.nz 4 points 3 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
