I personally am quite against it. I joined Lemmy to stay away from the toxicity on Meta’s platforms. I don’t want any corporate bodies on the fediverse either and possibly doing to the fediverse what Google did to XMPP

        While I’m sure that one-click hosting for fediverse instances exist, I’d imagine most instance admins would be using general dedicated server hosting. It would allow for finer control of the backend.

          My main mastodon uses one of the hosted services, which I’m totally fine with. Moderating a community is hard enough without adding extra sysadmin work on top, and I’m happy to donate towards the running costs whatever way the admins choose is best to run it.

          Yeah, I don’t get the comparison of activity pub and xnpp.

          An accurate comparison is email and activity pub

      I don’t think they’re there to make money. They want to take over the place and then absorb it in other to eliminate competition. Which is what they’ve always been doing.
