    IMO this is such a shortsighted take and defeats the point of federation because of a knee jerk response.

    There is the potential for federation to grow massively with the injection of billions from big tech.

      Sure, of course it would grow. But at what cost? And then who effectively owns it in the end? There’s an inevitable outcome - one that you apparently aren’t aware of.

      My take is that we should defederate them so that they don’t become the de facto instance in the Fediverse. That way, the Fediverse remains what it is now—open and truly decentralized. By defederating and discouraging them, we’re signaling to potential new users that they’ll be stuck in their own bubble.
