A secret program called "Project Ghostbusters" saw Facebook devise a way to intercept and decrypt the encrypted network traffic of Snapchat users to study their behavior.
The company that has been complicit with multiple ethnic cleansing campaigns, election manipulation schemes, and attempted to suppress their own research showing that their platform harms children? Yeah. They’re pretty ethically bankrupt and anyone with something resembling scruples should want nothing to do with them. The users are welcome to join an existing instance or create their own. The company needs to be blocked.
Okay, but they want to join a meta instance. That’s what they know. Instantly defederating away from them “because corporation” is simply fearmongering in a system that’s resistant to “bad corp” taking over.
Who is “we”? This is a slippery slope talking point and nothing more. Fediverse was made with redundancy in mind, so nobodys instance is the “main” one by design. Being scared of someone comming in and being part of the various communities doesn’t mean that the fediverse would somehow get absorbed, destroyed or whatever have you.
There’s some reading for you to do, so that you understand the risks involved with letting some asshat company, who does not give a flying fuck about you, have even more leverage on the internet than they already do.
No, the issue is “we don’t accept people from facebook”. It doesn’t matter what their opinion is - facebook bad.
You‘re doing it again. Please stop putting words in my mouth.
We dont accept facebook here, period.
Which is the exact same thing I said - you don’t care about the people, you just go “facebook bad” and ban it
No my friend. You’re highly manipulative and aggressive. You might want to talk to someone about this. Its not healthy. I’m out. Blocked.
Getting called out and just running like a baby because it’s 100% what you said.

Brother, it’s not the people. It’s the corporation. If the people want to join a non Meta instance they would be welcomed with open arms

Yeah, no. The issue is we don’t want corpos using the EEE standard as they have with mostly everything internet wise.
If people want to use Lemmy, make a fucking account, join an instance, and WOW look at that, we grew!
