im very worried about this!!! i read news about meta with the fediverse and people say meta will destroy and make the fediverse stop existing and force everyone to go to facebook?? is this true?? they will embrace extend and extinguish?? and kill the fediverse??? but this is my only social media!! im not against meta but i dont want the fediverse to stop exising, is meta going to shut down fediverse instances?
Probably. Not sure if this will do it. But there’s inherent privacy concerns in having a bunch of relatively insecure silos interoperating as a semi-social network even if most of us do so with varying degrees of anonymity. For the moment, most of us are here to avoid corporate overreach so motivations are in a certain degree of alignment. But it’s just a matter of time before something goes wrong or the winds change in an unforeseen way.
You have 0 clue on how the fediverse works
Insult, no elaboration. Classic. Nah I think he’s pretty spot on. If you’re going to say something about it then back up your argument.
Lemmy is open sourced, it doesn’t matter what META does to their code, they can not do jack shit to the fediverse as a whole. Is that better?
Wasn’t referring to what Meta could do or even necessarily that there’s an issue with Lemmy’s software. More that there’s a bunch of servers with various configurations without resources dedicated to intrusion detection, mitigation or reporting. If something did happen at a server level to a hobbyist instance there’s no reason to believe users or maybe even the persons running the instance would know about it.
