I spent ~2 seconds looking for a post on this topic, and didn’t see one, so if I missed it, that’s on me.

A lot of people seem to be up in arms about Meta moving into the fediverse via a rumored twitter competitor called “Project 92”. Obviously, this is more of a problem for mastodon than Lemmy, but since everything is connected here, it seems worth addressing.

So what is the FMHY position on this whole thing?

They’re known for spying on you and I’m willing to bet my head that that’s what they will do, it’s facebook and it will always be facebook, no matter the name or platform.

Yeah, I know, but it’s possible it could drive more users to the fediverse- for example, if they federate, then try to monetize their platform in such a way that users drift away to other instances to avoid ads or what-have-you.

We don’t need to federate with them for them to make fediverse more known and attract users to us. That’s what I think at least.
