    why would I want to keep in contact with the “head in the sand” people

    Forget contacts. Imagine Meta has

    • poured way more developing hours in their fork than the FOSS community ever could
    • the most effective and easy to use mod tools
    • the best search tools for finding communities, topics and everything else (by a margin)
    • free instance hosting
    • every major wish list feature implemented
    • a working feed with endless content you actually find interesting
    • a vibrant community for every niche interest you might have
    • advanced development so much that it feels a couple versions ahead

    The more money they throw at this, the more people will feel tempted to join or at least try their service. It offers objective benefits. It would feel like using lemmy 0.09 when others already enjoy 0.18.
