Same how google killed xmpp, how big tech killed email. Meta and big tech are just too powerful and they can destroy, takeover fedi with resources they have.
Which still doesn't mean fedi should cooperate with meta or any other big tech, I dare to say not even with any company.
l o l, how you deduce I'm a "paid shill". you sound more like paid shill tbh, even you probably aren't
edit: now I see i probably i misunderstood you, sorry
Disagree, federating with meta will kill the fedi. It will put all power in big tech.
Yes, that would be a great idea because it would free the email protocol taken over by all big tech.
How you think threads is helping in that ?
How would defederation from meta lead to killin fediverse ?
That is naive look on it. Meta(Facebook) is a company, it's always company interest and only company interest. The idea of fediverse is to stay out of data tracking, user profiling, not to help it in any way. Connecting with meta is workoing aginst fediverse. It might be a mistake fediverse never recovers from, even now it's really small fedi community.
Why would we as fedi users, mods and admins help meta or any other company, for what, for their interest that they sell on "we love fediverse", "cusotmer first" bla bla bla.
With xmpp you could chat with people on messenger just by having xmpp account somewhere else. Now you cannot. And no email is not working just fine, self hosting email is hard now beacuse you are getting blocked if you are using big tech servers.
XMPP has it's own problems, not really pleasant user experience etc. But yes, facebook first embraced it the cut you off anyone you had on messenger.
If this happens, meta will takeover fedi.
