Fediverse

Meta has the best engineers in the world

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA....oh that's rich. Do you actually believe this?

are you peppy from osu! ?

If an instance does off because Meta won't defederates from it, then it probably would have died off anyway.

Imagine what the fediverse will be like when 90 year old daisy gets on it.

Could Threads essentially cause a kinda DDOS attack onto other instances or bloating other instances with data?

I get all the hate for meta and zuck, and I agree that they would only do so for their own commercial benefit, but I don’t think we should defederate without seeing what federating means. Everyone here is instinctively panicking and running around like headless chickens without seeing what it would actually entail.

Threads is like mastodon. If federating with threads only means that threads users can participate in lemmy, I see that as an advantage for us.

If we were a mastodon instance, this conversation would be very different.

If you don't federate with them, people will simply just go there instead of here because a larger user base.

What is Signal?

Why would the most active lemmings stay on meta owned and controlled instances?

The instances defederating Meta will shrink and collapse into their own seperate Defediverse. The debate shows the risk of so many hobbyist instances and admins powertripping their view who the users are allowed to talk to, that a corporation is perhaps more reliable. It hurts the users, hampers communication channels and people will flock more to the Mainfediverse further accelerating more power to fewer instances.

If you were looking for a network seperated from the outside general world, you perhaps should have joined a closed instance, network and forum. It goes against all what the Fediverse tries to be, a multi-purpose communication tool across communities, corporations and cultures with the possibility to create seperated and shielded communities.
