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.
In don’t know or care about their intentions. If we want to claim we are an open protocol then mastodon needs to role with the puches. Otherwise you might as well be on threads.
