I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

    So you post on social media because you want te be publicly discovered? Yes
    Then why are you whining because your public posts were publicly discovered?

      If that were the only argument I might consider your point, but there’s also the point of troll farms. You can easily identify a third party troll farm fedi instance, but Zuckerberg will keep them anonymous as long as they keep paying him. Are you not aware of the amount of shills and trolls we got on reddit advocating for:

      • Russia
      • Conservative republicans
      • Conspiracy theories
      • Corporations such as Monsanto

      I’m not fucking kidding, if you paid ANY attention to what happened to Reddit in the years after Spez took control, you’d realize that amplifying voices funded by corporate or foreign government money is bad for fucking everyone.

      Facebook has shown, time after time, that they don’t give a shit about actual free speech, democracy, human rights or even complying with the law.

      Why do you keep treating them as if they were only a social network? Have you been living under a fucking rock?

      If you like corporate social networks so much, go back to reddit.
