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.

And with Discourse. No federation with companies !

At least Discourse's softwares are open source, and it as well as many other companies having plans joining Fediverse don't have a long history of EEE, supporting or letting extremists exist on their platforms and rampage,... like Meta. Meta has a long history of bad deeds so they would get any benefit of doubt.

What's wrong with Discourse? I ran a server during college for a couple of buddies and it was totally owned and operated by us, no corpos or anything. It's just like phpbb or any other forum software AFAIK.
