    Hey guys, I’m sure Meta’s intentions with the fediverse are pure though! Really!

            Prole believes those are the same thing.

            Meta doesn’t get any real data from federating Threads that they can’t get right now by just running a web scraper over it. Most of the dire worries presented are either not something they could actually do (like forcing ads on other instances), are things individual users could just block the instance to avoid, or are things that could be resolved by just defederating them later if they seem to be going down that road.

            The biggest realistic threat is probably an Eternal September 2.0 scenario, but that is going to happen if and when Lemmy becomes popular.

              I was going to say I knew all that and was poking to make it clear to others that literally no one is saying that but then you hit me with “Eternal September 2.0 scenario” haha.

              I’ll have to do a little searching on that one.

              Edit: Ah, I had forgotten.
