Not willing to give them ideas so fast.
That’s something that popped in my head as soon as I started in here, not so long ago.
But there’s nothing to prevent that, right? I mean, Meta could very well create a meta instance on Lemmy or Kbin or Mastodon or in all of them, bring a bunch of users, sprinkle in some ads because why not.
Sure, they could be defederated from more restrictive insfances. In the bigger picture, every other instance could boycott them, but they would surely federate among themselves (Elon meets Mark, ugh). They also have all the computational power and would have no problem being the largest instances in the Fediverse.
Then what? Is that feasible? Probable? My utopian future about a free, descentralized Fediverse is a lie?
@exohuman @RomanRoy truth social doesn’t really count as their mastodon fork doesn’t federate
They choose to not federate, or no one will federate with them?
I can’t imagine creating an instance and then just choosing not to federate. Lol kinda defeats the purpose.
Isn’t that just taking working open source code and privatizing it? Makes sense to me. If you want a Twitter clone you have that in an instant.
