I have mixed feelings about Facebook being a part of this, but I honestly don't know if I'd want to get closer to Facebook. 💀
what are your mixed feelings? truly, what do you think is the positive of meta getting involved?
Not op but one positive is making their users aware of the existence of the Fediverse and providing an opportunity for non-meta servers to take up some of those same users. The question is what means are available to do that without putting the community at risk.
There is no chance a Meta version of an instance will do anything to make its users aware of alternatives. That's beyond wishful thinking. Instead they'll leverage the work done by others to make a walled garden for their users.
