CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@df @dansup i hope i'm wrong, but i only see meta's move towards federation as a form of embrace, extended, extinguish.
they won't control fedi, but they might be able to have enough control that self-hosting isn't worth it.
similar to how google and microsoft control the mail ecosystem. anyone who's ever hosted their own mail server knows how much of a pain in the ass it is dealing with blacklists and being marked as spam even when you do everything right.
i will never not see meta as hostile.
