A warning and a perspective from an insider who has been through this before.

The solution is to simply ignore the corpos

I envision- its not that simple.

They will likely offer the one thing we are missing here-

Ease of use, for normal people. Ie, your grandma using her facebook app, can interact with you via the fediverse.

That being said- most of us will know, the temporary boost to the fediverse will not be worth the long-term consequences. But- to your average user, they will love this idea.

So- only time will tell. Although, Mastodon has quite a following and has been holding steady so far.

It doesn’t matter what they offer, whatever it is or however nice, it’s a trojan horse.

It is not in our or the fediverse’s interest to cede any form of control to these corporations who have a monetary interest in ensuring our failure

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
