Again, not an equal comaprison. You see all federated content in from the fediverse, you don't have to subscribe in order to eventually see it when it is specifically sent to you. Also, I don't subscribe to a single mailing list for anything, willing to be many others don't.

And yes it benefits from creators content but not for profit. I would argue creators (often) will get as much out of there content being posted to the fediverse by the attention it garners them. In comparison to whenever creators' content is posted to facebook with (often) no credit only for facebook to make the lions share of profit on that.

All this along with Facebook's (yeah sure, say meta if you want but to me that was just PR to try to gloss over there super shit public perception) extremely poor track record on privacy, controlling mis-information (everyone seems to forget Cambridge Analytica scandal) etc. etc. and no Facebook/Meta should not be allowed anywhere near the Fediverse if we want it to be an enjoyable place on the internet.
