You’re basically telling everyone to be nice and pretend these same kinds of people who killed reddit for us won’t kill the fediverse when we have every reason to believe they will, and you don’t want us to talk about it or do anything about it?

Up to now, I've asked probably like 6 times in various different threads on kbin / lemmy / mastadon

Nobody has given a concrete mechanism by which federating with Meta will kill the Fediverse. At most people just parrot out the acronym "EEE" and link the singular article by Ploum and pretend like they've said something meaningful

Federation is like email. I'm not going to block Gmail off from my email server because there are millions of people who use Gmail. It would be a disservice to my open standard to be blocking off millions of people from communicating with me. Instance owners are not going to give them their admin passwords. The Lemmy devs aren't going to close source Lemmy and license it to Meta.

It's not even like federation is a permanent thing. Instance owners can federate and as soon as Meta brings negative consequences they can defederate. The main risk I see is a large influx of people.. which is not a bad thing, especially once it stabilizes. It would mean more people make more subs and all sorts of niche things will start to pop up - the only really nice thing about reddit.

So tell me, what is the urgent crisis attitude for? How is this the end of the world? Why do we see post after post of people freaking out about this? Instance owners can't even sign an NDA without getting death threats.
