Yeah but, we did already. Right here. I'm assuming that if you're already a fediverse user, it's because you left behind facebook, twitter, and the rest. They're following us and the expectation is just that we'll keep moving as they make the next thing shitty?

My concern with this (and other attempts like it) is that the initial integration will of course be done with good intentions by a team who shares the values of the community. And then they will get promotions or move to other jobs within two years and leave the technology to whims of revenue-generating part of the organization who will be merciless with it.
In terms of damage to the community, it'll be impossible to talk to the people you want to with ten thousand spamming robots separating you.
I understood that reference.
By all means, if you can find that job, take that job, and get your share of the system. Just be super careful that you're not making someone else's job harder in the process. Like, if this job is on the edge of software development, you have a ton of stressed out and resentful people who will see to it you get you fired if your being there is creating unnecessary work for them. Copy and pasting a password into an email turns into people having to spend several hours creating and deploying the new passwords.
The trick for me has been diversification. Firefox replaced RIF.
If I wanted to be there, I would have signed up there.
Good choice, who wants to deal with a hundred thousand instagram users sitting in between every fediverse user.
How about an annual renewal fee that increases exponentially over time? The mouse can afford it.
I've been on giant, corporate owned services for so long, I kinda forgot what it's like to be out in the cottage industry of small websites.

By moving to fediverse, we already left them behind. We're being followed.
