But meta cannot claim all the fediverse as accesible content. Therefore making it akin to using facebook and reddit. Separate services that serve different demographics

Here's the rundown:

1. Meta joins 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 instance.
5. Meta is now the fediverse and the fediverse is nothing but a husk of its former self

What defenses are in place?

I will! Thanks!

Oh and I like the suggestion for the digital providers. I currently have a local box but I'm open to anything really. Just need to dip my toes

Thanks a bunch! I forgot to mention I have TrueNas Scale, which is debían based and supports Docker. I'll have a read at the official docs, thanks again!

I saw a guy saying it had all been a simulation for the people inside the sub as if the govt faked it and just kidnapped them

Thank you for your feedback! This comment was totally unnecessary but come join us in r/botrank

Shit thats scary! Is there any way the Fediverse can collaborate to stop their takeover?

Because it definitely sounds like that’s their intent. There’s no benefit to Facebook embracing an ad-free, trackerless standard unless it’s taking over.

Thank you for your clear explanation btw!

Also, where can I start my own server for funsies? Ive got trueNAS, unsure if I can run it from there.

Sooo… what happened in Beehaw?
