🌐 The #Fediverse, a digital ecosystem based on the #ActivityPub protocol, offers an alternative to traditional #socialnetworks by allowing users greater freedom and control.
🤝 This #decentralised system, exemplified by platforms like #Mastodon, aims to create a more authentic and less exploitative experience.
🔥 However, the involvement of #mainstream#tech companies like #Meta, with its controversial history, raises concerns.
@fedizen The best part about the fediverse is that you can block Meta’s Threads instance, but, personally I follow accounts there and I don’t mind it overall, but, Meta shouldn’t touch the fediverse in terms of funding.
@DarthAstrius This! Blocking Threads is like installing a mosquito net: you know the swarm is out there, but you get to choose whether to let a few in for observation or slam the door. Meta funding the fediverse though: that’s like letting a raccoon manage the food pantry and hoping it doesn’t immediately chew through the walls.
