I personally am quite against it. I joined Lemmy to stay away from the toxicity on Meta's platforms. I don't want any corporate bodies on the fediverse either and possibly doing to the fediverse what Google did to XMPP

Agreeing with the general sentiment. Anytime the big five 'engage' with the open source community they just use and abuse it. IMHO it would be in the best interest of the Fediverse to reject all partnership offers from the corps and make sure to defederate any instances they stand up.
You do realize that most of these projects are funded by cooperations, right? You do realize that the EU has a mastodon instance, right? You do realize that Mozilla has a mastodon instance, right? You also realize that mastodon is a cooperation rigbt? (Granted it is a nonprofit).
You do realize that most mastodon instantces are in some way affilated with a cooperation, right? Just by proxy. Using their servers, etc
I'm still trying to figure out meta's Intention's, I have no problem meta monetizing their app. There is zero problems there.
The intention is to hoover up user data and capitalize on it.
Why are you defending Meta so much
Their username starts with FBI, coincidence? I think not
Isn't Mastodon a GmbH? (Basically the German equivalent to a LLC)
