My worry here is the fact they want to federate with things like Lemmy. We want the users, but we don't want the corporate overlords, and most new users won't know the difference.
The good thing is the corporate overlords have no control over other instances, except to defederate from them
Google basically killed Jabber/XMPP doing exactly what Meta/Facebook is doing here.
They’re going to hit 100k users in under 24 hours, why on earth would they care about federating with anyone?
They have 2M users in 2 hours.
My bad, I forgot how to count
Over 10 million now.
