  • People who keep touting the point that defederating from Meta means we are cutting people off from fediverse are picturing this situation wrong. Based on what I’ve read, people see this little island of people compared to the mainland where there will be physical barrier because shouldnt tear down the bridge.

    But the net isnt like that. People have just as much freedom creating a Threads account as they do a Lemmy or Mastodon account.

    And don’t say that the fediverse is too difficult to understand for the average person. That kind of rhetoric is what will push people away.

    Everyone needs to be patient with growth. It’s not going to happen in a year just like it took years for reddit to grow. I do believe that more and more people will be interested in the fediverse once they realize that corporate oversight is non existent here. And that can only happen if we keep the major instances disconnected from Meta or any for profit company.
