@thenexusofprivacy @[email protected] @[email protected] I can’t see how anyone can stop Meta. They will do what they want with their *tens of millions* of insta accounts that will immediately take over. Other than existing in a walled-off server I can’t see what can be done to stop them.

@Kwakigra @thenexusofprivacy other than existing in a walled-off server how can you stop them? There will inevitably be contact from second and third hand interactions, no?

“Instead, based on the history of technology, the chances are overwhelming that such an app would be used by Meta with an embrace, extend and extinguish strategy, at the end of which the Fediverse would either have become irrelevant or effectively been taken over by Meta. So the much-heralded alternative to Twitter would become … Meta? I sure hope not.”

@cendawanita do you know where mastodon.world stands in this? I migrated off of mastodon.social seven months ago and I really hope I don’t have to move again
