Is there any hope? Or is it inevitable that big corporations will take over what started as a way to escape big corporate platforms and to focus on real communities and discussions and replace it with a toxic shithole pumped full of ads?

      currently you lose everything. I’m hoping they add a transfer tool like how masodon(i think it was that) has with transferring accounts

      Why would Facebook bother buying out existing instances? They have the resources to create thousands of instances, and the userbase (the idea is to migrate all Instagram accounts) to populate them.

      Not to mention that they’re creating a Twitter/Mastodon clone, not a Reddit/Lemmy one.
