Consider this, Facebook employees: if your mission truly were to connect everyone in the world, you could do that without exploiting them.

You could become a premier Mastodon node in a federated social network and succeed against your peers with a better user experience, features, mobile apps, etc.

Or, you could continue on your path to centralized hegemony, which will only ultimately end in failure as the world migrates to a federated social media model.

Quit now while you're ahead. You've made a lot of money already, go make some more working for a company that doesn't exploit people.

If only one talented engineer takes this advice to heart, the world will be a better place.
