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.
I agree on not federating with them. In addition to the EEE threat, the fediverse has a lot of growing pains just from the reddit exodus, so adding a shitload of users would break instances and make moderation basically impossible.
This is why I agree with avoiding federation with them for now. We need a more granular federation model than the current All or Nothing setup, to cut down on the whole data sponge thing from the corps. And there’s a need for moderation toolkits that don’t yet exist.
I think if those things existed, federation would be good because one of the shittier things about the corporate walled garden of social media is that their users can’t see outside the walls. If they could, they might choose a different ecosystem.
