Not sure I agree with all of his points, but it’s a start that we’re at least publicly acknowledging this as the end of an era (for good IMO)

    We’ll just have to hope the average person has wised up enough that they wont get signups in the millions just because they’re Meta.

      One puff piece by a popular site/magazine with a title like “You’ve heard of the fediverse, now it’s easy to join” and people will trip over themselves to sign up.

          You don’t need to see it. It is already confirmed that they will use Instagram accounts for login.

      Maybe. Or maybe the average person can use Meta’s decentralized instance and the non-average can use the smaller, less popular one. I’m down with that.

        The thing is that if Metas one big instance gets big enough, they can hold the people you know hostage with a mismatched feature-set to force users to move over to their system. EEE. XMPP.
