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.

    Seems like everyone who is “for” letting threads stay can be summed up by “why would I want to intentionally separate this from a corporate entity when they’ll just get my data anyway” Like that’s a fucking valid argument.

    Oppose corpos at all fronts, it doesn’t matter if they’ll get you anyway. If that’s your take, then if your country ever gets invaded, I expect you to bend over and invite the enemy inside.

      Lol People are fucking idiots and these are the same people who complain about how everything is getting expensive when corporations are posting massive profits.

      Well yes, if you want to be disingenuous and not actually understand their argument.

      It’s not. Which is why it’s so ridiculous that OP is making it.

      I don’t understand. Facebook can get data from an open system whenever they feel like it.
