EmpyreusThreads is exactly showing the biggest problem with anything Fediverse. It’s simpler for the user so it will be accepted. The amount of people I’ve already seen join is huge compared to mastodon.
marigoLemmy doesn’t need to be #1 in popularity. I’d prefer it to split and maintain a higher level of quality, even if it’s smaller as a result. Even if Meta can grab data either way, it should be disconnected on principle.
MarxineYup, my main concern is being fed stuff Meta wants us to see so they can misinform and manipulate public opinion. I want to never interact with Meta again.
