The solution is to simply ignore the corpos

I envision- its not that simple.

They will likely offer the one thing we are missing here-

Ease of use, for normal people. Ie, your grandma using her facebook app, can interact with you via the fediverse.

That being said- most of us will know, the temporary boost to the fediverse will not be worth the long-term consequences. But- to your average user, they will love this idea.

So- only time will tell. Although, Mastodon has quite a following and has been holding steady so far.

It doesn't matter what they offer, whatever it is or however nice, it's a trojan horse.

It is not in our or the fediverse's interest to cede any form of control to these corporations who have a monetary interest in ensuring our failure
