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?
I’m not sure, but I wouldn’t mind Mozilla in the fediverse. I thought I heard something about that being a possibility. At some point if things scale there will start to be a cost that has to be handled beyond donations, so what in hoping is there are maybe some trusted institutions that help out rather than Meta/Amazon/etc pushing into the space
