I red tha article and I think there is a problem in who it was managed at the time, if Google or Meta wants to join they should to us not us to them so if they break federation we should not care and continue implement our stuff, if something usable comes out of them joining we could use that but we are not their slaves, they are going to play in our home so we establish the rules.
Plus I think that if we don't become meta's costumer support and I don't think we will, we are not that dumb, meta joining the fediverse would only benefit us because we could see all the posts from Meta while being on a private add free server, people wouldn't have to choose between Instagram where all their friends are mad pixelfed ecc.
What do you guys think? Open to talk.
As I understood the article, the danger is that large actors like these are too important too ignore. Too many users, too much content to neglect. So while in theory you are obviously right, in reality there will be a temptation to cater to their needs, because it seems so worthwhile.
Form the hate I see here towards them I don't think anyone would do that, just my opinion tho. I think we would only benefit from it.
They would enter the arena, set their own rules and kick out everyone not complying for sure.
How? The fediverse is our. If we don't comply the maximum they could do is defederalize and then we have the same old fediverse, thay can not kick us out of what is ours, we have the power here
