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.

Easily incorporated into the posts themselves

We should definitely block instances who insert ads into the content. However there is no evidence of threads.net doing something like this.

Not now… But they can easily do it if they get a majority market share. Don’t behave like they want? Defederated from the majority of the content.

They could threaten to defederate from us so we should defederate from them? It makes no sense.

Are you familiar with the story of EEE and XMPP?

XMPP works great, I use it everyday. It doesn't have to be popular, you only need to convince some of your friends to use it.
