I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.

I am serious, I don't see how the argument that centralized social media sites like Facebook, reddit or X were "taken over" when they are outright owned by those companies. It's a completely different situation with the fediverse were they literally can't have the same power as they don't hold the keys to everyone's servers, the development of activity pub as a whole or anything of that nature. It's literally a completely different situation.
