Just wait until Mr. Poettering integrates AI into systemd. It'll know what you need to look for before you do, and will phone you to tell you as much 😈

How exactly? Federating with us won't give them access to your email address, real name or phone number. #Meta can't feed you adverts or force things into your timeline. If an account from there behaves in a way you don't like you can mute or block, just like here.

Did you know that #Threads are making #federation opt-in for their users, because some people are freaked about their posts escaping onto the #Fediverse.

Irrationality and panic is happening on both sides.

There are generic instances and there are themed instances that support communities with common interests. I can't see how single user instances for all would work well with that. It would also raise the barrier to onboard new users and make it a difficult experience.

That's moving away from the goal of Mastodon's current design though.

As this is the Fediverse, these single user social environments you're envisioning don't have to be Mastodon. They can be something else that would happily sit right beside it.
