Yeah and it’s also too much effort for communities to band together around it every year. Someging that requires this much effort from communities should remain once every 5 years, otherwise they’ll stop participating.

Not that it even matters at this point :(

What? Defederating doesn’t fix that.

1. Meta doesn’t join the fediverse
2. Meta introduces convenient, cool and innovative features not originally on fediverse code
3. Everyone wants new features, but features are locked under propietary code.
4. Everyone flocks to meta’s product.
5. Meta is now the fediverse and the fediverse is nothing but a husk of its former self

The solution is 1: to make sure users understand that it’s a bad idea to flock to meta’s instance, and 2: to implement that feature in the fediverse if everyone likes it so much they’re willing to leave. The solution is not defederating now because of the posibbilty that they do that in the future.

At least we’ll have Memmy and Artemis
