I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.
The way I see it, Meta and Zuck are a far far stretch from deserving either trust or benefit of the doubt.
Wait and see, sure, but I can be defederated while doing the waiting.
If for some magical reason, it turns out great, then we can just refederate once they’ve proven themselves.
