I’m just curious what you folks think. The whole idea of the Fediverse seems to go against everything Meta has stops for with their existing platforms (Facebook and Instagram).

What are they after? Are they going to try and infiltrate it so they can get people’s data and content? Are they trying to monetize it? It just doesn’t add up. I feel like most people on the Fediverse already would agree that we don’t want Meta’s platforms to access our content.

Please excuse my ignorance if it doesn’t work like I think it does. I’m relatively new to the Fediverse myself.

    And weirdly, a lot of startups have the goal of being bought out by a mega-corporation in a couple of years and live off of that money.

    Which does make sense. Most people work to make a living and what a better plan is there than to make something that someone pays a ton of money for and stop working. Or after that do something that you want instead of have to.
