  • I have my concerns about letting a company like Meta into the Fediverse, BUT I don’t think we should block them. Instead just have tools available so individual fedi users can block them effectively; that should be enough.

    A mainstream company like Meta entering Fediverse can cause problems, but it can also open it up to a wider pool of users, which can benefit artists and other creative types who want to do business on Fedi. The biggest complaint about artists who tried to move from Twitter to Mastodon was that they could no longer reach as many people. Mainstream support of Fedi can help with this issue, we just can’t let it get to the point that the corporate-types are calling the shots.
