Personally, I want nothing to do with them and I’m not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I moved to the Fediverse to get away from all these corpos.

    They will datamine all federated users They will set up a CDN for uploads on their platform that will track you like v.meta.com or i.meta.com.

    They will probably train LLMs off the data. They will sell the data to advertisers or data brokers. They will most likely have ads or pay to boost.

    They will diverge from the standard once they have the majority of users like google does with chrome and the web.

      This is the only thing they couldn’t already do. They’ve probably already been datamining Fediverse users. No need to set up an instance for that.

      I agree with the v.meta.com and i.meta.com. We’ll have to establish some good alternatives by then so people don’t use them just because they work so well.

      I would hope their instance would get pretty immediately defederated. If not, it’s worth moving to an instance that doesn’t federate with them.
