That is naive look on it. Meta(Facebook) is a company, it's always company interest and only company interest. The idea of fediverse is to stay out of data tracking, user profiling, not to help it in any way. Connecting with meta is workoing aginst fediverse. It might be a mistake fediverse never recovers from, even now it's really small fedi community.
Why would we as fedi users, mods and admins help meta or any other company, for what, for their interest that they sell on "we love fediverse", "cusotmer first" bla bla bla.
Idea of Fediverse is to provide decentralized network of social servers connected to each other. Defederation is an optional feature if some instance would go rogue. For now, connecting with Threads is not against Fediverse, it's the opposite. Connecting with Threads fullfills the idea of Fediverse.
Disagree, federating with meta will kill the fedi. It will put all power in big tech.
He's just some paid shill. They've been infiltrating Lemmy for months. Don't even waste breath arguing with them. Just downvote them, jot down their screennames and warn others not to listen to them. Arguing with them directly is what they want so they can convince others there's a legitimate debate to be had.
l o l, how you deduce I'm a "paid shill". you sound more like paid shill tbh, even you probably aren't
edit: now I see i probably i misunderstood you, sorry
It's all good. I am talking about the shill you were getting goaded by, not you. Don't sweat it; it happens.
lol moderator removed my comment simply saying I enjoy using Threads!
You guys are hilarious!
Then go back to Threads and stop helping corporate oligarchs take over the internet.
Thanks for your concern about me!
Don’t worry, I do use threads and enjoy it quite a bit!
It’s easily the friendliest social media I’ve ever used, and I’ve never even had a Facebook account!
It’s sweet you think lil ole us using the internet actually affects things on the grand scheme of billions of users, though! Bless your heart!
Then go back to Threads and stop bothering everyone else.
I am on Threads my guy, this is the internet you can be in multiple places at once.
Also, how am I bothering everyone else?
Are y’all not ganging up on me and my opinion? Does it bother you guys to be bullies to someone for sharing a dissenting voice to yours?
I’m sorry if having a choice bothers you, I’m sorry if hearing something opposite of what you want bothers you.
Nobody is asking you to be a jerk to people who differ in what they would like.
Then get off of Threads, go outside and go touch some grass.
I’m not a fan of grass, horrible invasive monoculture that harms the native insect populations. I’ll blow some dandelions for you though if that helps you feel safer about my social media preferences.
Yeah, we can tell. You NEED the grass. And oxygen. And water. And soap.
Okay.
So like, you realize if you don’t want to use threads you don’t have to, right? Just because other people like it doesn’t mean you have to turn into a cranky curmudgeon.
Why turn to insults just because we have different views on things?
