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.

Reddit conversation about the trouble with Meta and Mastodon in the federated space together.
With 1.3 mn active users, #Mastodon is but an ant in comparison to the 3,000 mn users of #Facebook.

#FB was created as a macho website and it's become a toxic space.

Maybe the #Fediverse should have a vote if it really wants to be hooked up to such a place?

Any individuals would still be free to join.

If #Meta were #Twitter, I'm sure about the vote.
#Meta is in the same league, though.

#FOSS does not mean that corporations can all join, regardless of their behavior + agenda.

An ant is about 0.52 - 0.75 milimeters, an anteater up to 1.4 meters, so there are more than 2.200 active FB users for every active user of Mastodon in comparison.
