Yeah I used Tumblr religiously back in the "glory days". '09 to '15. Aged out of it but it'd be nice to have another platform to get content from, I especially miss their fandoms. So many wonderful, talented, creative people post great stuff but I find it hard to FIND them these days.
Read this one earlier. Great article, wonderfully written.
Honestly i would never use another meta product, idc how nice their app would be. i like my funky jerboa app and that's that! Lol. But - i get your point. A lot of users prefer usability over privacy.
But here's my thing with that argument, which is valid btw, but why would I want to keep in contact with the "head in the sand" people who continue using Meta's instances (or whatever monster they end up creating)? I can't imagine anything meta could offer me that would make me use their fediverse product. And the people that migrate over to them - okay? have fun supporting an evil corporation that's using you as a money printer. Sayonara.
Yeah, to Meta growth=money. Fediverse (generally speaking) isn't after money.. we want community. Healthy growth is fine - meta's mutant hormone growth isn't what we want.
Okay, someone explain to me cus i apparently don't have the critical thinking skills to figure it out on my own.
What does Meta want from joining the fediverse? What is the draw for them???
This is the rebuttal i needed to hear 🥲 i want to have faith we can withstand meta's tar-like ooze seeping into the fediverse
Somebody get the StabBot guy, too.
