FMHY and Meta (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I spent ~2 seconds looking for a post on this topic, and didn't see one, so if I missed it, that's on me.

A lot of people seem to be up in arms about Meta moving into the fediverse via a rumored twitter competitor called "Project 92". Obviously, this is more of a problem for mastodon than Lemmy, but since everything is connected here, it seems worth addressing.

So what is the FMHY position on this whole thing?

I would consider this the first steps to attempting to privatize the platform. They join, bring their fun, change the rules, then take over. They want in on the free data we create, and the fastest way to do that would be to federate. Bonus points if they can match your profile to your Facebook profile.
