It's not a choice between those two, and allowing Mark Zuckerberg in the door doesn't gain us relevance. We've already been slowly growing on our own accord and we've finally started to cross the threshold to where there's enough people here posting enough stuff that it's not a ghost town anymore. Sure I do still run out of content on any given day when I'm looking at my phone on the bus and on my work breaks but it's usable enough that I don't need the corporations. The only thing that threads has to offer us is a large pre-existing user base and there's nothing else. Once we get enough people even that doesn't matter

If we let corperate avithilea gain a foothold they'll EEE us. Learn from history, Meta's not doing this for our sake
they're up to no good, we all know that. weather it's EEE or something else
It used to be you worried about getting a virus from pirated books, now the corpo options are provably malware
Nice. How effective is that minimum standard? Most currently existing buildings are of course older than 15 years so most people won't have experienced it. Sadly these days anywhere remotely urban has way more than 1/4 the cost as land, espically for already existing buildings
we need to put sound insulation into the building codes. it won't increase rents much since all the money's in the land anyways. personally I've never had an actual issue with noise form other units but I'll grant this to the people who do.
these fascist laws are fucking insane. we need to stop these state governments now!
It's kinda insane how much abuse we all tolerated that turned out to be totally unnecessary
Now that fediverse link aggragation has hit critical mass for non ghost town atmosphere I.have no reason to go back to a Corpo shopping mall. Sure I'm more likely than not to still.run out of new stuff to look at but that takes a while and I accept it as a growing pain while we grow to greatness. Soon even that won't be an issue and the corpos will be toast
NFTs don't solve the actual problem, which is that paying money doesn't legally come with a warranty for accessability of the thing you bought. The law should guarantee the right to access anything purchased or marketed similarly for a given period of years with the right to either a Refund or a DRM free download option if said access is no longer offered for any reason, and mandatory cultural preservation of said media as a precondition to legally profit off of it or enforce copyright using the court system
Honestly I could see this being a way of trapping people by giving them less incentive to leave. If people like us leave and you have to leave the corporate hellscapes to see our posts that gives people a reason to leave too but if they can enjoy it from the "comfort" of Mark Zuckerberg's domain they have no reason to leave. That also makes them captive to met us since they can pull the plug in Federation anytime they like or mess with it in a thousand different ways. Convincing people to sign up for another account may be non-trivial but it's ultimately the best way forward
