This sucks

Me too and I don’t think it’ll be a threat to Lemmy but on Mastodon, there are a lot of old people who already use Meta platforms themselves.

They will very soon have the largest userbase of any instance. If your instance gets blocked by Meta, your users suddenly have a fraction of the reach because no Meta people can see your posts anymore. That would put a lot of pressure on admins I imagine.

I could be wrong but I think Paper.wf is only intended to write stuff on and you need to promote your blog via other socials. Then, people can follow your blog via things like Lemmy, Mastodon or other Fediverse platforms. Commenting would also be done via other fediverse platforms I imagine.

It’s just their excuse to make you use their shitty app
