I think it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.
Google already indexes lemmy and mastodon.
Are we being defeatist about it? Because I don’t think the solution to data privacy invasions is to just directly give them all the data straight into their servers.
