    I’m don’t totally understand the fediverse and how it works. How does meta making one of their options federated harm the rest of the fediverse?

      There is zero benefit to engaging with multi-billion dollar companies.

      The harm is they embrace, extend, extinguish the Fediverse and I can easily see the W3C letting them donate and start putting in some features “to protect” the children or media ownership rights or whatever bogus excuse they’ll use to start cracking down on it like every company does every time it gets involved in something.

          More companies is the opposite of beneficial for the Internet.

          We need a people oriented Internet.

              Growth is already steady, and the more these companies shoot themselves in the foot the more large migration waves we get.

              Slightly speeding up an already naturally occurring process doesn’t seem worth the risks of allowing corps into our spaces.
