It's a moral problem that's extensively exploited these days. "Platforms" use both the lock-in effects as well as marketing and propaganda tactics to make people feel bad for not wanting to interact with the platform, shifting the focus on the loss of social interaction. Simultaneously the blame is also shifted, from the crappy dicks who run the platform to the individual who DARES to avoid the platform - which is reinterpreted as being anti-social.

@FediThing @CartyBoston The only solution to this is exactly what the Fedi does. Which is why Threads does NOT nor plans to ever allow moving accounts off of it.
It's here to exploit social behaviour, like Meta always does.

Y'all I can *assure* you I am not an apologist for Meta, I really don't care much about them at all.
My nieces have insta accounts, it does not matter what I think of their choice of platform and I will be *thrilled* if we can see each others posts some day.

@FediThing @CartyBoston Unfortunately the only people who have the power to protect against it are people who also run big instances or even develop the software. And while @dansup has proven to be a good ddude with values and the ability to change his mind / apologize if shit hit the fanβ¦ @Gargron does not show any of it. Especially regarding Threads, at least not public. And who knows what was said under Meta's NDAβ¦

@CartyBoston @FediThing I can fully understand your sentiment and desire, however if I ever got some weight to throw at this topic I'll do my utter best to prevent or stop any federation between services of Meta, Google, ByteDance etc. and the Fedi. For the sake of both a healthy society as well as the Fediverse.
