I personally am quite against it. I joined Lemmy to stay away from the toxicity on Meta’s platforms. I don’t want any corporate bodies on the fediverse either and possibly doing to the fediverse what Google did to XMPP

    We have completely blocked and defederated from threads given the uncontrolled transphobia taking place there

    I can already see it. They will offer a solution to the identity “problem”, moving user accounts to their network. They will offer “free” hosting solutions so that more people can run communities without self-hosting. Over the course of years they will slowly inject ads, tracking, the typical enshitificaton fare.

    I’m tired.

    Seems clear to me that Facebook should have no other interest in this other than ultimately making money. Thus it is antithetical to Lemmy and the fediverse in general, and should be treated as such.

    They really think we never learned from google+ or WhatsApp? They implement OpenSource, greedy milk it to the ground and close it or set their propetary code over it. Nothing has changed, we should be worried about activitypub since the greedy five are interested in it.
