  • That’s too optimistic, even for me. Peoples’ perception will decide the fate of the technology. You might be able to influence a couple of friends and family but the general public is much much larger.

    Just take a look at what happened to cryptocurrency. It was an amazing and novel idea, decentrilizing money, cutting the banks, and the goverment from day to day transactions. It had it flaws but nothing that couldn’t be fixed with a few iterations. Nowadays ordinary people won’t touch it because it’s either for ‘illegal activities’, ‘scams’, or ‘gambling’.


  • I guess that makes us both guilty of underestimating Meta’s resources and influence.

    Even in an unlikely event that people would notice our existence, should we choose to preemptively defederate Meta, it is much more likely for Meta to push the narrative that ‘they’ were the ones who deferated us. No one’s gonna hear about our values and what we stand for, even if they did, why would they believe us over the platform which allegedly has the power to influence elections?

    edit: They don’t even need to make stuff up, they can just say they were unable to guarantee a safe and well moderated space as a company if they were to stay federated.
