So Meta (Facebook/Instagram) want to get into the Mastodon space.

Will it work? Will people prefer that certain-to-be-unfederated federation?

Here's a Reddit screenshot that is an interesting take on where things are with Mastodon and concerns moving forward.

The greatest thing about Mastodon, so far, in my short time here, is a great, calm energy of the ideas. I don't sense a lot of hatred or heat. The exchange of ideas is the point. It feels like the early days of the internet -- I've been here since 1980 -- when you found a place to make new friends and create meaningful connections. I know that early lift doesn't always last long with magnitude of distribution, but it's still good to know these moments still exist somewhere. #AI #Introduction
