    With all the hate towards Facebook, my prediction is there will be two fediverses: one that federates with Facebook and the other that doesn’t. We’ll see how that plays out.

      Well, the ones that federate with Meta will still be federated with those who don’t. So it’s really no different from what the Fediverse is already: Fragmented by design.

        What I mean is that non-facebook fediverse will also transitively disconnect from facebook: if you federate with facebook or allow any instance in your federation network to connect to facebook --> disconnect. Effectively 2 networks.

      There are well over 10 “fediverses” already:

      • Federates with Lemmygrad
      • Federates with Hexbear
      • Federates with LemmyWorld
      • Federates with NSFW
      • Federates with hardcore NSFW
      • Federates with piracy
      • etc.

      One more won’t change a thing, it’s working as intended.

        You may have a point 🤔 Hadn’t considered that. Well, it’s fine. That’s the freedom provided by the protocol. Might as well embrace it.
