Yeah - I read that article yesterday.

While I agree that the panic is tiresome, I wouldn’t call that a “grounded” article. It struck me as entirely predictable PR fluff from the “CEO” of Mastodon, which is to say, the specific person who stands to profit the most from any sort of deal with Meta.

The strength of the fediverse is its freedom, and specifically each individual’s freedom to create an instance or join any instance they prefer. So my plan is to simply exercise my freedom as I see fit, and without submitting to the rhetoric either of people who are trying to convince me to panic or trying to convince me to welcome Meta with open arms.
