i know the fediverse has been pretty split and a lot of big instances (mainly microblogging and mastodon-like softwares, but some lemmy instances are defederating meta too) but what do you think?
No need. If I wanted corpo social media, I’d be on reddit/twitter instead of lemmy/mastodon
It’s Eembrace, extend, and extinguish (EEE) all over again. It has happen countless times, and will keep happening. I can’t believe people still fall for it.
Meta wants to capture the twitter refugees, and they will do the same thing.

Fuck Meta, they are cancer.
Seriously. They’re literaly cancer to the internet.
I’ll never use a Facebook product if I can help it.
Mastodon already exists, they didn’t need to bother
I think I’ll never knowingly use a Meta product.
I think Carrot said it best.A shit product name using a generic commonly used term.
I already fell into misinterpreting a post title about it. So unnecessary.
I’ve taken a look around and it’s pretty early so not a lot of uptake. It will live or die by how many people actively use it. The built in follower base with instagram is pretty enticing. I was surprised to see a reference to the fediverse right up front. Might just be pandering, but we will see!
Use it to link back to Lemmy posts.
Yeah, I was wondering if you could set it to just broadcast, letting people know the Fediverse is your new home now. Throw them a lifeline.
this is my plan as soon as meta federates tbh
im willing to stick it out with their shitty app until they federate if it means i could bring over a few extra friends to the free persons side (:
I appreciate your missionary zeal. I can’t yet get up the energy to look at it - there’s so much more interesting stuff over on this side of the fence.
Not needed. We have mastodon. It has it’s quirks but in the long run is much better than twitter
Fuck facebook. That all I have to say.
I think that if Apple let me install it in a walled off sandbox, away from everything else on my phone, I might give it a try, but as it is, it’s not going on my phone.

I installed it, looked around, and deleted it.
I think they’ll do quite well perfect landing spot for Twitter refugees not willing/techie enough to take the leap to Mastodon. Yknow the normals. Particularly if it’s well-integrated with Instagram.
Is that a good thing? Ie do I want to see Twitter fail more than I want Meta to not be successful…? That’s a fucking tricky one!
