I see no reason why, after the Fediverse has found a solid moral ground, it shouldn’t put this up to the test against Meta and try to win over some terretory with it. Actually, it seems like the most sensible thing to do. Because we want to bring these digital rights to as many people as possible, and for that, we need to partially federate with Meta.

There's many good reasons to not federate with meta, the first is that big tech often join foss projects, fund it and then abandon it and let it die. History prove it.

It’s protocols over platforms. I’m not too worried about the protocol.
