       I still need to read more, but my first reaction to the rumors of #Meta joining the fediverse is curiosity.Meta's business model is to collect tons of user data and sell ads.It's conceivable that they would gather user data through the fediverse, but I assume complicated legally and technically.The ads, though. How on earth could they sell ads to the users? Unless the ads were only distributed locally? In which case, the risk to fediverse users is small?I'm probably missing something.

       @derek The perceived risk is that they will launch an 'enhanced' experience that is only available to users on their sites, including ads, and  attempt to draw a high percentage of users to their sites.Same thing they did with XMPP.
