Are we going to be defederating Meta when they show up with their app?

Meta community. Discuss about this lemmy instance or lemmy in general.

Would be pretty dumb imo. They'll bring a huge and potentially active userbase with them.
But I care more about content than principles for social media...
If you care to read it, this article explains very well the consequences of large companies getting in on defederated networks like the Fediverse. They've destroyed them before, and it's clear that's what Meta is attempting to do here.
But even then, I can't understand why anyone would ever want content from the braindead idiots that largely populate Facebook, and Meta platforms in general. This place would be worse than reddit was at its lowest points if those people started flooding every instance and community here. If they genuinely want to be here and contribute meaningful content, they can just register on an instance like anyone else.
I hope Db0 defederates them.
I have to agree 100% with you. Mainstream social media became a tool and expression of people's frivolity and showing up their makeup happiness in their miserable lifes, and the first sign of such behaviour is a narcisistic one: "all is about me, everyone should look at me and everyone should agree with me". And the last part is quite problematic, specially in Lemmy, where there are contents, opinions and point of views averse to the normie and cringe mindset of our modern society that force a fake positivity of values where paradoxically everyone can do and say whatever they want, but at the same time they should fit into a fluid notion of what right and wrong means.
