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.

Yes and no. Normies use federated systems too: Websites and email.

true. but don't forget that when these things were new, they came kicking and screaming. think of how many people retired during the PC/internet boom just so they wouldn't have to deal with it all at work. the entire world changed and made websites/email a necessity to exist and survive. i don't really see a minor flavor of tech like microblogging following that path. people will have an option between "easy and closed source" and "mildly just a little technical but with freedom" and will choose to go with whatever is easy.
