How do we feel about Meta joining the Fediverse? (lemmy.ml)

Personally, I want nothing to do with them and I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I moved to the Fediverse to get away from all these corpos.

To me it sounds like they are trying to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish the fediverse. I wouldn't doubt if at first they adopted it with all the standards then started doing proprietary crap

"Little by little, a little becomes a lot."

They'd start with little proprietary things here, then there, and before we know it the Federation wouldn't be the same Federation we're enjoying today.

The same thing happened with the Web since the 90s and 00s. Mark my words...
