It still takes a while before Meta(P92) joins the Fediverse and the recent times we have read a lot of things from both sides
Polls are not super reliable but maybe it will give a better overall picture of what you, the people using these platforms want
The result will not be the definite outcome for us but I do take it into heavy consider because I love you all very much!
"Would YOU want to federate with Meta's new platform?"
Block from start, Meta's reputation is consistently horrible in terms of human rights, privacy, treatment of staff etc.
They're the opposite of what the Fediverse should be.
Have you also blocked all emails coming from gmail accounts, because gmail is owned by Google?
Block from start, Google’s reputation is consistently horrible in terms of human rights, privacy, treatment of staff etc.
They’re the opposite of what Email should be.
You realise that Google blocks emails coming from small independent providers, right?
It is really difficult to set up indie email now because of all the roadblocks by the major players.
They are doing everything they can to shut down choice in email.
We can expect exactly the same thing on the Fediverse if major corporations get a foothold.
I have my own email servers. They are used for business purposes as well, so they send out quite a lot of emails and I would discover very quickly if Google no longer acceps our emails. I never experienced any problems sending emails to gmail accounts (as long as I adhere to the latest anti-spam policies, like DKIM, DMARC, etc. and making sure I’m not on any spam lists).
Even then, you prove my point. Despite the horrible policies of Google, we all still continue to send and receive emails to/from gmail accounts… So why should we treat Meta different than Google?
