Let's welcome Meta, not block them
This is justified in the post by:<p>1) saying it could help mastodon achieve much more significant growth<p>And<p>2) privacy issues are somewhat moot because much mastadon content is already public<p>I strongly disagree with these two premises being sufficient to justify the claim that meta should be embraced.<p>Addressing #2 first: there is so, so much more to Facebook’s negative activities and data gathering than harvesting public-facing data. As such, #2 does not come anywhere near to justifying #1 as being worth the huge downside risks if such a move.
