    I’d say it’s exactly as productive as saying “It’s no big deal if Meta joins the fediverse, It’ll be fiiiiiine”.

    We should watch everything very carefully.

      Explain how they would impact our communities if we defederate their instances from ours.

      Spoiler: They can’t.

      There is zero reason to freak out. If you don’t want to be affected by Meta then don’t join an instance that federates with them. Boom. You’re done. Problem solved. That’s the beauty of the fediverse choose your flavor.

      They are going to have more users, that’s just a fact. They already have more users than us, but we still have these healthy and active communities. They could have 30 billion more users and we still don’t lose as long as we have the communities we’ve built on our own instances.

      Edit: Why are all these doomer accounts from kbin.social? Open registration is a mistake.

        Seems like you haven’t read that article at all, otherwise you’d understand this already happened multiple times.
