Chris TrottierWe haven’t yet made a decision regarding whether https://calckey.social will federate with #Barcelona.
I’m of the belief that there needs to be a “lobby” where new people try out software to decide whether they like it, and federation is important for spreading word of mouth.
On the other hand, #Meta has done horrible things to people, and I will never be their friend so long as Zuck and co. run the show.
I question @film_girl’s assumptions that in order to decentralize we must roll out the welcome mat to the biggest centralizing force on the Internet.
But this isn’t just about centralization, it’s about a well-known peddled of evil arriving on the scene. And I’m not being hyperbolic here. Meta is to social media what Dow is to chemicals.
To everyone who expresses concerns about Meta—you’re right!
