  • Assuming they don’t mess with fediverse protocols, here’s hoping that I could interact with their users without using Meta’s proprietary apps, when it’s absolutely necessary. (This is separate from mastodon instances choosing to defederate from Meta servers)

    If anyone is chiming in with “just plain don’t”, I’m talking of situations like Spanish speaking countries where every single fucking thing is done through whatsapp. Everything. There’s no avoiding it.

    If I can use a self hosted instance and foss app to talk to the borg instead of their borgware, that’s a tiny point in my favor.












  • I don’t think Reddit will go through a dramatic death as Digg did. Digg v4, as many old timers remember, happened in a different era with a different mix of users.

    Reddit will slowly become what their management always wanted it to become: a bastard child of facebook. Some may stay because of habit, some simply won’t care, it’s all the casual crowd Spez is betting on.

    That also means it will die a slow death where big flashy subs will be inundated with recycled memes and botspam despite the effort of some with good intentions that still hang into that platform.

    If any those become disillusioned and look for another place, Lemmy/Kbin can become that second home.
