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.

It's just the mob mentality taking hold.

No, its people capable of looking back and recognizing mistakes that were made, and not wanting to repeat them.

Meanwhile a bunch of corporate white knights are screaming about how its unfair to be mean to billion dollar companies, and how they totally wont do the the destructive, exploitative bullshit this time, that they've done every other time in the past.

I am serious, I don't see how the argument that centralized social media sites like Facebook, reddit or X were "taken over" when they are outright owned by those companies. It's a completely different situation with the fediverse were they literally can't have the same power as they don't hold the keys to everyone's servers, the development of activity pub as a whole or anything of that nature. It's literally a completely different situation.
