Why would they if they want the Fediverse to grow. Gatekeeping is awful.
Infinity grow is a mirage. We need to understand that. It's fine if a social media as a limit.
What's important is how you manage to keep it in life. Even here, you have a limit. It's conservative to think that it will last for ever as you will encontre the same issue as with infinite grow.
The fact is that thing appear, have a lifespan and die. Social media aren't immune to it.
Couldn’t just some of y’all defed instead of blocking it wholesale for everyone?
I thought one of the main perks of federation was user choice?
Well, that's what has always been mentioned, defederated from them, AFAIK there's no way of blocking it completely from the fediverse, so if your instance's admin wants they can decide to not block them and you can interact with meta.
If your instance defederates and you want to still see their activity then you can choose an instance which is still federated with them.
The annoying thing is that some people demand to defederate from instances that don't defederate
Tell that to this guy
Mhm, just because John Mastodon embraces Meta doesn't mean that I have to like it.
This is a bad take.
Worth noting that Meta through threads currently plans to collect and monetize the data of all users that it federates with.
that's even worse than I imagined it :O
RIP open and user owned Internet movement attempt.
Say Hello to Fediverse+, for only $39.99 a month you can access ad free browsing as your feed is fed only corpo approved posts that have flooded and drowned out any alternative voices.
I'm don't totally understand the fediverse and how it works. How does meta making one of their options federated harm the rest of the fediverse?
Wow, this shit needs to be posted everywhere.
Longer user know about it. It's good to post it time to time (as a reminder or not) so people know about it.
