The sheer number of #Zuckerberg (and others) #quislings in the #Fediverse is going to kill it. Inside of five years #independent, #distributed#SocialMedia will be dead for all practical purposes, and the people holding the daggers covered in its blood will be those who were inside it.

Agree, we have been calling to block bad actors such as big tech for a long time. Also have been pushing for P2P content delivery over I2P so operating a small instance of 500 people is even viable.
Mostly seems to go nowhere. This has been the long game of Mastodon the whole time we think. Its an Embrace, Extend, Extinguish op dressed in fluffy, elephantine clothes.
Not that is matters but is #threatds even #AGPLv3? @fsf ? We tried finding a license once, admittedly didn't look hard.
@dsfgs@fsf I don't know what any of the TLAs here mean. :'D
I just know that inviting 100,000,000 people into a network of 2,000,000 (most optimistic possible count!) is going to be a festering disaster. The culture is going to be swamped utterly.
@sour@fsf@dsfgs The pro-#Facebook/#Threads crowd is just number-obsessed. They think more people means more legitimacy or something. The fact that the Fediverse is small is for me the appeal; for them it is a source of shame or something.
They want Zuckerborg's (sic) "connect all teh thingz!" ethos, forgetting about things like "community" and "consent" and other soft things you can't attach numbers to easily.
