My point is that if they fuck up and tamper the protocol with their bullshit, it doesn’t matter because there will always be folks who refuse to participate in their shenanigans and just keep their instances out of reach. Plus I’d rather not interact with the Facebook crowd, so it’s a win-win situation.
it will matter though if a significant amount of users / communities is on their instances, if that happens and people then decide to defederate, that means the resulting community will be much smaller. Perhaps even so much smaller that it will eventually become a ghost town. It wouldn’t be the first time something like that happens!
given that we know Meta is not to be trusted at all, it stands to reason to never allow them to grow big enough inside the fediverse that the aforementioned scenario could happen
But that’s exactly my point. I don’t care about the Facebook crowd, and if the fediverse becomes shitty because of it, then I’ll simply join a community that’s completely defederated from them.
anytime Meta touches anything, they turn it into shit, haven’t you learned that by now?

I will never trust Facebook ever.

Is that not what we did with reddit anyway?
RIP WhatsApp 😞
But they bought that one, we don’t really have examples of meta doing EEE right? (Since 90% of those come from Microsoft and Bill Gates shuitty brain)
