Meta threads will open federation to the fediverse soon, and while this is mainly to mastodon it will still affect lemmy. They are acting like they won’t be evil, but let’s be real this is Facebook when have they ever done that.
This article which has been trending lately explains some of the issues. https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html
This comment here is a simple analogy if you can’t be bothered reading the article. https://lemmy.ca/comment/5702922

As far as I recall all these huge companies weren’t excluded from these open protocols and now look at them. For instance - email, try hosting your own email server and see how quickly you will be filtered to spam on most email providers.
A perfect example of something being embraced by huge companies, then extended, and then finally extinguished and no longer viable to do by small parties.
Gmail even marks new Proton mail account emails as possibly “malicious”, yet does not do this for their own service.
I literally host my own email without issue. And this thread is about defederating from a large company.
Literally the sentiment of this thread is about exclusion without reason beyond “big is bad” ideology.
So what the fuck are you talking about?
Well that was uncalled for.
I checked your replies and it’s mainly rage posting and rage baiting.
Enjoy “debating” somebody else.
