Nothing, it's the same virtue signalling I was sick of seeing on Reddit and it's people celebrating taking away the choice from other users.
These nonstop threads posts has soured my Lemmy experience after a month of being extremely active here.
Read up on the EEE business strategy. Read up on Cambridge analytica, on the numerous controversies surrounding Facebook enabling extremism.
Corporate power, and especially not this corporation, should not be welcome in the fediverse at large. We have nothing to gain by welcoming them. Facebook is the only one who wins.
And for your last point of mean admins taking your user choice away, this is the fediverse. I’d you don’t like it, make your own instance for corporate bootlickers and federate with them all you want
At this stage it is only virtue signalling - the signal is that the larger lemmy community has no interest in interacting or co-operating with Facebook or other large anti-privacy organisations. It's that simple. You can always join a different server with different values, nobody has taken choice away from you.
