    I don’t know about anyone else, but I moved to the fediverse to get away from big tech. They might join us, but I for one won’t be joining them.

    I know it’s also kryptonite to a lot of normal decent users too, but I think some parts of the fediverse drop as many n-bombs and swastikas as they do as an inoculation against corporate takeover. No corpos seeing dollar signs over there, that’s for sure!

      Exactly why I‘m here too and I‘m gonna go to some instance which defederates from the corpos, I‘ve become so wary of them I don‘t even want to wait until they enshittify whatever they set out to do.

    We all must do our part. When their new activitypub based social media platform codenamed p92, goes live… All instances should defederate.

    I’m old enough to remember when Facebook Messenger was compatible with XMPP (as was Google Hangouts, then called Talk). You could talk to people on there from your own server, you could use whatever open source client you wanted. It was great.

    Then they cut off the federation. Then they cut off the API.

    They’ll do the same again. Once enough of your friends and family are on their network they cut of federation and you have to move to them if you don’t want to get cut off with it.

    By Mastodon CEO, are you referring to Eugen Rochko? If so, please provide a link substantiating that he’s somehow sold out to Zuckerberg. Thank you.
