So you want an alternative to closed source platforms, but you want said closed source platforms to be the biggest on the fediverse. Uuhh, yeah...
You're missing the point, people don't want to defederate from threads just because it would be the biggest, but also because it's Facebook. How are people giving Facebook of all places the benefit of the doubt? This is insane. If they don't have an alteriror motive now, they will most definitely later.
It's pretty unbelievable isnt it? You would think this wouldn't even be up for debate on a platform like Lemmy but some people seem desperate for growth at any cost.
As far as I recall all these huge companies weren't excluded from these open protocols and now look at them. For instance - email, try hosting your own email server and see how quickly you will be filtered to spam on most email providers.
A perfect example of something being embraced by huge companies, then extended, and then finally extinguished and no longer viable to do by small parties.
Gmail even marks new Proton mail account emails as possibly "malicious", yet does not do this for their own service.
Well that was uncalled for.
I checked your replies and it's mainly rage posting and rage baiting.
Enjoy "debating" somebody else.
Couldn't agree more. I fully understand that people don't like Meta, but closing people off doesn't make an open ecosystem, it just makes another closed one that fits a specific viewpoint.

If Marc Zuckerberg wanted to be part of a federated/distributed web, he could have done so with Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp. This is nothing more than 'Embrace-Extend-Extingiush' activity.
