All this conversation about #Meta on #Fedi feels like the worst parts of geek culture. So technical, without understanding context or what strikes can actually do. My thoughts:
Meta will make a great app for Fedi because it has more money to throw at the task. People will start using that because it's better. It will have QTs and an algorithm. People they want to follow will be there.

I don’t have a Facebook, I don’t use messenger, Instagram, whatever new crap they make, and I certainly don’t want them to gather data on me, just because we happen to use the same protocol. Fuck meta.

Oh even if you’ve never made an account, FB is tracking you and has data on you.
FB has its hooks on almost every website around.
If you don’t know how to disable those hooks, yes.
