For some reason I can't dowvote this, so: this is a fucking stupid take

So when they steamroll this place so hard you only get their side of the story, what then?
The fuck is wrong with you?
If you like meta so much, why are you here?
Do you understand what corporations do?
I'd rather not build a bridge to the land of festering pustules to begin with
Please let the door hit you in the ass on the way out
Xmpp's popularity isn't the point.
The point is google intentionally killed it
Just think:
Meta has literal billions of users.
The entire fediverse has about 1.5 million.
Less than a fraction of a percent.
Why in THE FUCK would meta notice, or care, at fucking all? The entire fediverse of traffic ported over to meta wouldn't budge their advertising bottom line.
But, it's a comparatively small group of smart people, having conversations, and profiles they don't have tabs and near total control over.
There's news about cop city and gaza I have seen here that I've seen NOWHERE else.
Don't let them control the narrative here
I really don't think that's the case.
This is a nice little place, meta barging in Will fuck it all up
Are you planning to pay for the extra bandwith to deal with all the additional traffic?
Meta will.
And then when they own the servers amd all the traffic, lemmy will be quietly murdered.
Quietly, because they'll control the traffic, and therefore the narrative
Well I can't afford to pay for that much server traffic, can any of us?
Where will we be when meta own all the servers?
