Why?

How arent Microsoft engineers annoyed by this themselves?Do they even use the products that they make?
But that is a double-edged sword. What if, for example, mastodon.social doesn't defederate with Meta, but you defederate mastodon.social? Now you've just cut yourself off from a huge portion of the fediverse. Admins should defederate from Meta if their community wants to do that, but defederating from other instances that didn't do that is going a bit too far, in my opinion.
It is, but it's not likely as lots of them are in it only for the money.
Are other single board computers like OragnePI or Libre Computer any better?
Meta is a garabge company in so many ways. But I think that we need to allow these giant companies experience full extent of the fediverse. That will hopefully bring more pople on the fediverse, populorize is and make it more widely known / used which is a good thing. But we need to be cautious.
Its better in a lot of ways and I have fully switched, didnt look back since.
It can but given how media is ignoring it I dont see that happening in near future. Us user will have to shape the future of the fediverse and I think that is the best thing.
man back in the day aniwatch.me was the best
just send an email to reddit and use chatgpt to write a request for you. mention your account username / email and request deletion of personal data + posts (account in general) from reddit / twitter as perrmited under gdpr.
Same here, I am all in with fediverse. I will soon delete both my reddit and twitter profiles, I hope that more people will follow soon. ps: make sure to send a GDPR claim to both so that they purge all of your contributions to the site ( reddit posts/ comments ect... ), this is the only way that they will be able to see how badly they are running these services.
I think that this is the best take on this topic
