I think one of the Lemmy devs is German too

“Hysteria”, that’s one way to belittle people.

I think Voyager is based on the famous iOS reddit app (Apollo?) and is regularly updated. Looks really polished and I’m also using it on android next to sync.

Could be just tactics. Remember the uproar the first time it was said threads would federate? Suddenly they were “not ready yet”.

Now in the second go, the idea got already normalized and there are more pro-meta comments. And they will stay silent and non-intrusive at the beginning.

Zuck is really big into early adaptation (metaverse i.e.), they see potential in the fediverse and their first objective is to be part of it, then grow with it and finally take advantage of it, once the time is right.

It’s really not a good thing that some people think the fediverse is going to go up in flames as soon as meta joins. That’s obviously not going to happen and sets wrong expectations that could lead to more acceptance.

They can get the data, but they need the federation so people see their content/advertisement.
