How about Lemmy.World?

The admins stated on Mastodon that they’re not going to defederate until something happens. Knowing Meta they shouldn’t give them the chance.

Thats unfortunate. I’ll be moving instances then. Giving Meta a chance is a lot like giving a mosquito a chance to not suck your blood.

I wish moving to a different instance was easier, I don’t want to put in much effort and it doesn’t appear to be super easy

I ended up just making an alt. Wasn’t too bad. Just signed up again and searched for some communities.

Yeah, the problem here as I see it is that just the same as Twitter, this social media service is still owned by a single owner corporation who is running the service for a profit and they will eventually sell user data or bastardize the service. Ive been on the internet for 30 years, social media and websites come and go and so does their popularity.

Which raises another point, how are the bills being paid for with any of these services, including lemmy? TAANSTAFL.

Lemmy instances are mostly paid through donations.

although there might be some exeptions.

Generally disagree. If you want the Fediverse to become a large open standard, if not the largest, then this is going to just be a matter of course. Companies will seek to commodify all their offerings, whether they use open standards or not. Many exist that commodify on top of open-source software and open standards. The important part is to ACHEIVE the open standard to begin with, and I think it’s short-sighted to pre-emptively block something that could be a strong item down that path, and before it might show itself to be more harmful towards that goal.

It can always be blocked later, situation-depending.

The problem is that we alredy had a similar problem with XMPP and google Talk.

Where gooogle took over with google talk.
