Won’t matter if they can just repeat the same trick. We have to do something… now.

No. We’ll just make a new mastodon/ lemmy-verse without them. Its easy enough. At a certain point the world needs to understand that its these companies, not the format, we’re avoiding.

We can’t really do anything. We’re like less than 1% of the market and the rest don’t care.
Just keep them defederated and there’s not a lot they can do.

You are here, you are doing something. If they start with the bullshit we defederate them. (Or build new tech to keep corp influence in check, whatever we want.)
Point is: at some point me getting updates from Aunt Ethel matters a lot less to me than controlling my privacy and living my life without being advertised to every second.

“We” are a minority share of the market and no one really cares about “us”. “We” are irrelevant and we will keep being irrelevant unless we start actual and effective evangelizing for an open web.
This is not just about “avoiding”, it’s about fighting for culture change.

Eh I’m pretty happy if they just stay over there haha

Who is “they”? Your family? School/Work colleagues? People you share interests and that you know in meatspace?

Meta

I’m fine with that personally. I’d much rather have a small social network containing people who are like me (at least in some respects) than a huge one filled with people I hate and garbage AI content.

Lemmy (heck, even reddit) is great example of why your and your parent post’s goals arent mutually exclusive. If lemmy blows up, some things will

Do you “hate” your family? Your neighbors? Co-workers? Normies?
BluesF@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Not necessarily, but Facebook certainly makes it easy to 😉 more importantly I’m not at all interested in being connected via social media with any of those people, aside I suppose from “normies” because that could really be anyone, but I’m not that bothered.
SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No but I don’t care about seeing them on social media. I don’t desire that at all, if I am gonna keep in touch with someone it will be in person or through direct messages.
