Step 2: We are Extending the fediverse with our open source contributions. We are such great citizens of the fediverse and we like to contribute .
Step 3: We have decided to exit the fediverse because of reasons. But don’t worry! All the people you like to talk to are on Threads already. Come on over!
The 2020s are shaping up like the 90s again. All we need is Steve Ballmer as Meta ceo and the circle will close.
“let’s embrace all the users who are already there and try to convert them to our app/server”
i don’t think the people who came here, hoping to avoid meta and other big corps, are the type of people who would switch to meta’s instance. Rather only current meta users.
Besides de-federating from meta (server side) is not the way to go about this, as you’d be encouraging people to use meta’s apps, since… they would have no other choice. Everyone keeps bringing up EEE, well you’d be contributing a massive amount to it by doing that. Mastodon has client side defederation anyways, so the user has the ability to defederate for themselves.

It’s not that.
If established instances federate, Meta gets immediate content and people for their users to engage with.
The hardest part of starting a social media site is getting enough content to keep eyeballs.
We shouldn’t give them free content.
