I just read a good article about big tech is never a friend to decentralized stuff. You can find it here.

Interesting read lets hope we can keep Meta and Zuck out.

That article needs more eyeballs on it. Maybe some funny memes to get that message out quickly

Good thinking 👍.

Someone needs to at least create a let me in meme with Meta and Fediverse.

This very much parallels the Embrace, Extend, Extingush philosophy pioneered by Microsoft in relation to open source software.

This is a great read for getting some historical context.

Not only for historical context but to prevent that history from repeating itself.

Facebook joining the fediverse will be for one reason only and that will be to find a way to crush it and/or monetize.

Big tech has no problem with decentra, the one doing client monetization are on that fight. Some of them are big tech but that does not make the whole of bt accomplice of the fight.
