Meta is a company that is gonna join us in being open and when they get enough users to have their platform running organically they cut us off.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Considering they already have like 100x the users than the fediverse already..

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Indeed that laugh since 90% of those users are likely bots and the 10% remaining are people that will only overrun this platform with mediocre recycled memes disengaging existing lemmy users.

Unless the benefit would be extremely big, Facebook users are just going to dilute existing lemmy content instead of add to it.
