Yeah, all these delusional people who know that Meta has earned its bad reputation. 🙄

It's the scorpion and the frog, completely.
"Oh, man..who would've thought that the people who want to monetize everything and dominate any market they get into would not just be our friends this time?"
It's almost like some people crave enshitification.
"Hey this decentralized stuff is really cool, let's connect with the most gigantic corporate assholes who would absolutely centralize all of it if they could...you know, so we can grow! What could go wrong?"
LIke...what?
Facebook doesn't give a shit about its users and treats them and their data as a crop to harvest. On Meta platforms, you're the product. On the fediverse, you're just another user, free to do what you want. Disgust is indeed an emotion, and I'm 100% fine with being disgusted with Meta.
Same, I was only donating $2 a month but I'm not alone in finding this completely unacceptable. I applied at lemmy.ml. It's the scorpion and the frog with these people suggesting we should just wait and see.
"~Let's see if Zuck doesn't act like an anti-competitive asshole this time" <--where the hell is the logic in that?!
Or they type fast and have a lot to say /shrug
Agreed about influencers. Meta wouldn't be doing this at all if they didn't have a plan (or multiple plans) to monetize it. The whole reason I left Reddit and plan to leave Twitter was that I very much dislike having any part of my online enjoyment at the mercy of the whims of gigantic corporate assholes that think they are far more important than they are. Meta has been an awful and abusive actor in the tech world, why would any freedom-loving person want anything to do with them in a freedom-loving space?! Why would anyone just wait and see what they do this time to decide they're an awful company with only their profits in mind and no qualms about making those profits at a cost to its users?!
Go be an astroturfing corporate shill somewhere else.
Only replies to the original post will ever be at the top.
"Break the loop and you break the chains."
Nobody actually said that to my knowledge but putting quotes around it lends some legitimacy. 
Not just any tick, but THE Tick. Spoon, motherfuckers...
For real, this troll is honestly trying to argue that Meta being a hostile company isn't common knowledge.
