oh, here's some JUICY rumored details about meta's plans for the fediverse
tl;dr "Meta will only federate with select larger instances from the beginning. There will be contracts which also provide for financial compensation for the instance owners."
can't entirely verify their validity but it's still worth posting just in case

•all we have to do is convince big instance admins to not sell out lol

•i think it might be a bit easier
to get a handful of large instance admins on board with being against meta
rather than as much of the fediverse as possible lmao

•Or does it suck? I can never keep it straight.
FB has, as I noted in an earlier toot, insane gobs of wealth.
Using it to buy out Quislings and Judas Goats seems like the strategy they've settled on.
I'm ... thinking of how that might be subverted.

•I can see a scenario where Meta Money becomes necessary to maintain large instances. Then Meta reduces the payout or simply stops paying the instances. The instances go bankrupt and sell themselves to Meta, giving them what they really wanted in the first place.
The real world analogy is the IMF and China saddling poorer nations with debt and then extracting a heavy cost through austerity and confiscation of resources.

•Another is simply increasing the complexity of the codebase, build process, and hosting requirements to the point that it's beyond the reach of private individuals or even mid-sized organisations.
See, for example, Red Hat's ongoing War on Free Linux, and Google's War on the Free Web.

•Openness about the costs of running it and the costs of supporting moderators in terms of therapy, administration, cycling them through, and even (whisper it) paying them?
Seems like this would be an easy carrot to go with the defed stick?
