How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) écrit par Ploum, Lionel Dricot, ingénieur, écrivain de science-fiction, développeur de logiciels libres.

Earlier today there was a post about rejecting Meta’s intrusion in the fediverse, some don’t see the danger in it or think it’s unlikely that Meta can do any damage to the fediverse.

Someone posted this in the comments and I think it’s extremely relevant and it deserves its own post so all can see it.

    Thanks for posting this. A lot of people seem super unaware of how these tech giants operate and the risk involved in letting them sit at the table.

      I don’t really get why people are quick to trust them. It’s highly unlikely (perhaps impossible) that they do something like this just to support the FOSS ecosystem or for the benefit of their users, so they do it for profit, and for them to profit from it, they have to control as much as possible of the entire protocol.

      It’s not rocket science really
