My big hope from this is that people might learn more about federated content and the fediverse in general. Then they can move away from stuff meta makes into the actual private internet.
I'm reeeeeal cautious about it. There's a Dr. Strange level of one positive ending, and that's where users log into FB's not twitter, discover a ton of content on mastadon and lemmy, subscribe, and then when they eventually try to sever the connection (when, not if), most of the content is over here and people want to switch.
Even tho the meme is using "disappointed black guy", I wouldn't be surprised or disappointed actually.
It's meta, what else can someone expect from them?
It’s like this for every major mainstream social media app
All social media are same lol
While I want to support decentralized approach, tbh at this point anything with correct moderation can be better than Twitter lol
I don't know if it this new service will be able to read posts from Lemmy or not, but I've already blocked this monstrosity just in case.
Eh... All the data is already with meta through Instagram, it's users is the target here. I'm sure most of Instagram users aren't complaining that much about collection of data. As long as this kills twitter I'm happy. Who knows it might point the rest of the users towards eventual decentralisation.
Twitter collects just about as much data
