Opinions on federation with Meta's new threads?
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
I personally am quite against it. I joined Lemmy to stay away from the toxicity on Meta's platforms. I don't want any corporate bodies on the fediverse either and possibly doing to the fediverse what Google did to XMPP
Seems clear to me that Facebook should have no other interest in this other than ultimately making money. Thus it is antithetical to Lemmy and the fediverse in general, and should be treated as such.
Not really, they're businesses that sell fediverse hosting, right?
While I’m sure that one-click hosting for fediverse instances exist, I’d imagine most instance admins would be using general dedicated server hosting. It would allow for finer control of the backend.
My main mastodon uses one of the hosted services, which I'm totally fine with. Moderating a community is hard enough without adding extra sysadmin work on top, and I'm happy to donate towards the running costs whatever way the admins choose is best to run it.
Yeah, I don't get the comparison of activity pub and xnpp.
An accurate comparison is email and activity pub
what makes you say that? afaik xmpp and email are very similar, and what happened to xmpp coul very much repeat with email, if we arent careful
I don't think they're there to make money. They want to take over the place and then absorb it in other to eliminate competition. Which is what they've always been doing.
I mean, yeah, the end game there is to make money. They don't want to take it over for brownie points.
