Then join an instance that's defederated with them, or create your own. It's literally that simple. Don't shit on open source devs for keeping their software open source.
Oh god, "shilling". Yep, there's that Reddit paranoia. Everyone who disagrees with me a robot!
There are two topics here, Meta and beans. Of course I'm talking about one of them lmao
And read the original comment I replied to saying Mastadon devs are "in bed with vipers". That's what I would consider "shitting on".
My comments downplay the "threat" because I don't believe it's a threat, and if a single corporation joining the fediverse somehow actually destroys it then it wasn't going to be around long anyways.
If you read all my comments you should know that. I'm not a fucking shill because I disagree with you ffs.
Uh, we need participation from everyone in order for the fediverse to have legitimacy. We unfortunately need those cringe users if we want large scale adoption. Without it everything stays small scale, developers aren't attracted to the concept and people leave for functioning alternatives.
It's not embracing Meta. All it says is, once it is federated, they may be interoperable. That's it. You could view stuff on Threads and Threads users could view stuff elsewhere (unless your instance defederates from Threads).
