Comment on Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time

<sigh> I’ll miss my cozy little Lemmy…
The upsides are apparent for the platform, but there’s no denying that change will be inevitable for all of us, whether some instances choose to defederate or not.

What your Lemmy feed looks like is 90% up to you. Subscribe to things that you find interesting and block what you don’t want to see.

That’s a great solution to a problem that shouldn’t exist.

Shouldn’t exist? Why? Ofcourse it exists and it’s not even a problem. People just are different and have different interests. It’s up to the individual to choose what they want to pay attention to and what not.

I have to guess you are too young to know the lengthy and detailed history of the anti-consumer and anti-privacy activities of Facebook/Meta over the past decades. (And if you aren’t, you haven’t been paying attention)
There is no corporate entity in the tech space that I can think of that has so thoroughly proven time and time again that they will bend or break every rule if it makes more dollars for them. (I say this despite the existence of Microsoft.) Their users are literally nothing but statistics and a data/income stream for them. It’s not (mostly) about who uses Threads, it’s about Meta. If the fediverse can be fucked over and enshittified (and it most certainly can), Meta will be the one to figure out how, and do it.
