“I know there’s a ton of skepticism about Meta entering the fediverse — it’s completely understandable,” Cottle says. “I do want to kind of make a plea that I think everyone on the team has really good intentions. We really want to be a good member of the community and give people the ability to experience what the fediverse is.”
Doesn't matter
"We have really good intentions, that's why we're working for a company that's been involved in at least two dozen scandals and breaches of user privacy. I'm sure they won't do it again."
I'd really love to hear him elaborate about why people are skeptical.
People are skeptical because they have proven time and time again that they in fact do not have good intentions. That they will not dedicate the necessary resources to properly moderate their platform. That they do not care when their platform is used to spread disinformation and manipulate the public, especially during an election.
I know of a guy who had good intentions. He just wanted to make Germany great again. I can't remember his name right now, but IIRC, it didn't end up being good for a whole lot of people.
