Why is he saying he would like to see a federated approach?
With federation there is no monetization, no centralized analytics, no centralized control over content. All things meta strives for
What I read before is that the plan was for facebook to introduce cheap instance hosting at the expense of making it a "franchise" they can control, monetize, monitor...somewhere between a self-hosted instance and a reddit sub.
So basically the worst from reddit (controlled, monetized, monitored) and the worst of lemmy (server instance handling and costs) lmao
Good luck with that
