I strongly disagree meta’s involvement is necessary for the fediverse to grow and become big. Snowballing is a very real thing and as long as growth continues to happen, that will encourage more growth.

The threat of meta is a huge jump in growth, and communities that then centralize around those users. Once popular communities are established on meta servers, they have control. If they choose to split or defederate those communities on the non-meta side of the fence would be back to square one building from scratch. That is the problem and if we don’t see it for what it is we will be left with nothing.

Easy to spin up a scrapper server that isn’t threads to collect data.

Not trying to shame ya or anything, just educate. This was a very easy thing to find using the lemmy search function, here’s the top result when searching “meta threads”.

Edit: I share site functionality and link a very thorough discussion that is relevant to the question and still get downvotes. Awesome, yall have a great day.

They already have the staff, this would just be a project current staff manages.
