The exchange is about Meta’s upcoming ActivityPub-enabled network Threads. Meta is calling for a meeting, his response is priceless!
I’m hoping the Fediverse unites behind the Fuck Meta position. Not just no, but Hell no.
It’s such a bad social media platform no one even wants a federated alternative.
Interesting. I wonder what the reaction of other admins will be. I imagine some will be interested in talking with Meta and federating with them?
I imagine some will try to federate with Meta and hope for the best. Some other admins will immediately block those instances, while the rest may take a wait-and-see approach and then start blocking them the moment Meta is caught trashing users.
I’m generally pretty anti-corporation, but federating and working with corporations is a great opportunity for the Fediverse. Corpos like Twitter, reddit, and meta would provide an easily accessible path to be in the Fediverse for non experienced users. And the Fediverse in return gets more users + more content etc.
You essentially get the opportunity to keep your data out of the hands of corporations(pseudo anonymously + open source) while being supplied with content from the average users.
