I know there’s a ton of skepticism about Meta entering the fediverse — it’s completely understandable,” Cottle says. “I do want to kind of make a plea that I think everyone on the team has really good intentions. We really want to be a good member of the community and give people the ability to experience what the fediverse is.”

Your intentions mean exactly nothing when you're being paid by Zuckerberg.

It also doesn't actually matter what you intend, because the problem isn't just what the platform can do, it's about Meta being in this space and trying to stake a claim in it. We came here to escape you. Go the fuck away.

Their intentions don't matter. Meta's only intention is make line go up. They will either consume or extinguish the fediverse with the rest of the corps. I'll be leaving lemmy.world the minute thread federates. I'm just gonna be a lazy ass until then.

I thought I understood lemmy.world's position several months ago was to not federate with Threads. This was the vocal position of many instances. Has this changed?

I... Don't think lemmy.world said it. I think they took more of a "wait and see" approach, in contrast to most other instances. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
