I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

    I’m actually really trying to play devils advocate… But I’m struggling.

    I came to get away from the main stream socials.

    I came to minimise my farmed data footprint.

    I came to find other like minded people.

    These principals alone are shared by quite a few I guess.

    If we end up hooked up to the machine we were trying to escape from then coming here was near pointless.

      I came to minimise my farmed data footprint.

      I’ve read tha point frequently now. Can someone explain it in more detail? I thought the idea of activity pub is that the data is completely open so it can flow freely between different plattforms and the user is not locked in on a certain one.
