@kevinrns@swf I am not sure what this means, but you can use a different fediverse platform today. Whether it's Misskey, Pixelfed, Akkoma, Friendica or one of the dozens more, if you find something that works better for you, great!
@Gargron@kevinrns@swf What it means is that we don't want corporations like Automattic & Facebook to touch fediverse, & Mastodon has a reputation for being overly accepting towards corporations such as those. Those companies have harmed us before, & we're worried that Mastodon will use its popularity to allow them to hurt us again. Even if Mastodon has good intentions by trying to make fediverse bigger & help more people find their way into it, our past experiences tell us that companies like these are going to abuse that. They're going to use the leverage you're giving them to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, or at least sell us & our data again or harass & silence us again.

It means meta and threads are corporate subversives working to destroy democracy structurally and financially, social parasites.
enshittification, corporate tech Bros, Facebook integration, integration with Jack, still with million$ in xitter, no thank you.
No thank you, corrupts the entire fediverse
Looking for better, expecting better.
