The Mastodon instances that I’m a member of have all preemptively defederated and I am very supportive. Just occurred to me we could still see the threads folks over here. What do you guys think? How does this instance feel about Meta?

    Honestly sounds like paranoid ramblings, never heard of this EEE thing before and now it’s as though this is a well known phenomenon. All successful open-source projects will interact with and be used by commercial entities. If it’s superior, others will use it, and others will use it to make money. If the network is not currently resilient enough to be able to incorporate the capitalists (crony or other otherwise) then at what point will it? This excuse will always exist. An open source project should be able to lean into this and be able to navigate it, rather than segregate like some wimpy monopolist.

      The technology is open-source, the community is not. If we open the community to the corpos, we, as the community, will suddenly be part of the financial success of said corpos. They will take our data for their own use, and our interactions will make them money as well through engagement via their own interfaces.

      They can use the Fediverse technology as much as they want, but I’m heavily against them using my personal data.
