I mean I find it quite ironic really that The fediverse has been screaming about how threads/meta will destroy the fediverse, but in reality - it is the fediverse destroying itself from the inside with this nonsense take.
And really - who wants to be part of that, it's actually batshit when you take a step back and think about what is being said:
"I don't want anything to do with X and I don't want anything to do with anyone else who has anything to do with X either"
OK, right now it's meta. But let's talk about lemmy, there are people on the fediverse who think the creators of lemmy are problematic - so what happens when we get "I don't want to associate with lemmy.world but also I don't want to associate with anyone else who does associate with lemmy.world"
Some instances defeded mastodon.social for problematic moderation, but they did not defed other instances that do still federate with mastodon.social.
It seems like an extreme reaction, and if the fediverse does die, it will be the fediverse itself that implodes rather than being destroyed from any company on the outside.
