yeah thats what I plan on doing! I hope you’re right and I’m just being paranoid. thankfully a lot of other instances are defederating from threads too… hopefully it’ll be enough at least to keep a small part of the community safe
optimistically, the fact that zuck is even trying to take over the fediverse means he sees it as a threat. we’ve been already doing well enough without their “help” and it scares him
hopefully it’ll be enough at least to keep a small part of the community safe
Even if there’s only one instance that’s not federated with them it would be enough for a community, not as active sure, but it would be enough. We already have hundreds not federating with them! We won’t have their user count but that’s okay, we don’t need billions of users like the centralized platforms to survive. We’ll be alright, take a breather and enjoy your stay in the fediverse free of corpos 😄
On that note, because there’s no ads/monetization we have to donate to support the server so make sure you’re helping to support the instances you use (if you’re able.)
I’m in a similar boat, past couple months have been rough on the finances with some unexpected expenses so I haven’t been able to donate yet but plan to after my situation settles down again. Such is life.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

yeah! You’re right 😭🙂! and I’m so happy to see it.
donations are important too! id like to donate more when I can eventually when I am more stable (in the most general term). one day

Good luck, see you around the fediverse 😄
