Meta

Annoying. Evil. Greedy. A machine designed to enhance, promote and reward sociopathy, just as capitalism is in general. Ultimately unneeded.

Just about the same. A pisshole representing much of the worst of humanity.

and other instances preparing to defederating from them?

Just good praxis. Preventive care, and the simplest measure of such that any respectable instance would take. . Effectively self-defense and should count as that if for some weird reason it came down to legal trials.

Correct me if I’m wrong but from what I’ve seen about it seems like a Mastodon/Twitter alternative? Lemmy really doesn’t have anything to do with it since we can’t even view mastodon posts here.

Meta will ruin anything and everything it touches and then announce all the great new “features” they’ve introduced. Anything they take part in is just an effort to control people to maximize profits.

I think suspicion is the absolute least we can react with to a soulless megacorp like Meta.

Honestly? I think defederating from them is wise. In some ways, I think this is kind of like the tolerance paradox; we’re open and tolerant but we know the second Meta smells money or power they’ll betray that tolerance, so do we show them tolerance knowing how they’ll exploit us?

I don’t think we should. Don’t let them sack the commons.
