This is fascinating to me and there’s like 9 people here talking about it and most everyone is against Meta integrating with the fediverse. It doesn’t feel very self aware as a community. The more the merrier for the Fediverse and if you don’t like it, join a smaller project or find one with the privacy policy that suites you. Maybe I’m misunderstanding how this all works, but it seems like if this continues that this giving small projects access to an unprecedented number of users that are no stone walled by private networks. Obviously Meta will protect their self interests but if this is a way for them to break into some of the Twitter space then so be it. Perhaps they contribute funds for some fediverse back end development and it’s a win-win.
