2 years agoI see Zuckerberg trying to capture the Fediverse as a good thing, but only because it will test how resilient it is, and expose any weak spots the community can fix.
Bad actors are inevitable in a federated network, and they’re supposed to become increasingly ostracized if they keep at it. Let’s see how resilient the Fediverse is against a thirsty bad actor with a deep wallet.
Also, Meta/Facebook tweaking the codebase is not necessary a bad thing. While being mostly evil, it has made significant contributions to open source, maybe wait and see will allow us to copy good ideas… before defederating them, because sooner or later they will get defederated.
I don’t see them as a good Fediverse player, but preemptive defederation, before they even start to show their colors, seems like almost unfair.
