I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.
I mean, they can easily flood the ratings and sure All is just Threads content, then you’re not getting involved in Lemmy/Mastodon content, you’re just talking and engaging on content sustaining Threads and your comments are probably helping engagement next to adverts displayed to users.
It isn’t a good proposition, at all.
Meta doesn’t do anything that doesn’t benefit their bottom line, especially for their ad business.
