    Okay, this is a good article. I was on the fence about Meta, wondering how they’d cause any damage, and this article cleared that up for me.

      Same. I was familiar with “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” but somehow still didn’t get it until Ploum explained it to me slowly.

      Yeah, I had never understood why people were so upset about Meta joining the fediverse but after reading that I do agree that there is a lot of damage it could cause.
