Where are you getting this information and if it’s true? Even if it’s true, Meta isn’t known for sticking with what works for the user, but what works for their shareholders. They will figure out a way to exploit and/or extinguish the fediverse.

In the cruise ship analogy, they will stay on the boat the first few 3 or 4 times so everyone backs down and then they’ll open the bridge for all 5k. None of this rocket science.

Why do you want them here so bad?

Here’s where I got that information.

Because I believe in open protocols and freedom of discourse. I think that widespread adoption of open protocols like ActivityPub are a good thing.

Edit: I should clarify this question. You’re saying you like open discourse, etc., but if threads EEE’s the crap out of the fediverse, then this side is gone and you’re killing off open discourse. Also, corporations like meta, are closed discourse.

Meta can not EEE the fediverse. The worst they can do is create their own distinct fediverse. But anyone who doesn’t want to participate will still be using the open fediverse. They can’t take your instance or force it to update to their standards.

It keeps things open to competition. It prevents situations like we saw with Reddit, where single organizations are able to gatekeep content and force everyone to use their portals to access it.
