Would be pretty dumb imo. They'll bring a huge and potentially active userbase with them.
But I care more about content than principles for social media...
If you care to read it, this article explains very well the consequences of large companies getting in on defederated networks like the Fediverse. They've destroyed them before, and it's clear that's what Meta is attempting to do here.
But even then, I can't understand why anyone would ever want content from the braindead idiots that largely populate Facebook, and Meta platforms in general. This place would be worse than reddit was at its lowest points if those people started flooding every instance and community here. If they genuinely want to be here and contribute meaningful content, they can just register on an instance like anyone else.
I hope Db0 defederates them.
Thx for the reply and the article. Very interesting read. Never thought about it like that. Reading it like that, yeah, I agree it would be best to leave meta defederated from the rest :)
I take back what I said :)
