@Blaze@feddit.nl oh I see
Basically they see the Fediverse as a data breach with no actual control over what happen to data the moment it gets to other servers (actually true) and especially if GAFAM gets involved. I mean, I get this they want to stay super-private. But I think that private social networks is a bit naive as an idea
If google actually integrates yt to the fediverse it might genuinely be the best thing they ever did, I genuinely hope they do cuz it's the one centralised social media I actively use and the only google service I use in general.
Plus it goes without saying it objectively has the largest amount of high quality content regularly posted by thousands of people.
It could be the thing that would let a lot of users fully degoogle/decouple from google's monopoly and bring a LOT more eyes onto the fediverse as a whole.
I kind of see where they come from too, but the way they present it just seems strange
