  • I hope so! Just from personal experience, my whole online life so far has been a loop of moving to a cool platform with a good community, watching it slowly degrade into a toxic cesspool as more and more corporations fiddle with it, then hopping ship to the next one and watching that one gradually collapse too.

    It’d be nice to get out of that cycle and find a good place to just hang out.


  • I’d have to agree. Facebook polluted up the social media landscape with their gross business tactics, to the point where many people ditched traditional social media entirely and created/moved to the fediverse. Now they’re getting ready to start dumping their toxic sludge here too, and I’d hope that most of the popular areas of the fediverse would just shut them out entirely. They deserve zero goodwill from anybody and are almost guaranteed to be bad-faith actors IMO.

    I’m not holding out hope, however. I assume they’ll play nice for the first year or two, integrate with everything, and then enshittify this as well. It’s just the way things go.
