Everywhere I look there are people advocating for defederation from this and that! Do you even understand what you’re suggesting? Do you get what’s the point of decentralized social media and activity pub?
This is supposed to be free and accessible for everyone. We all have brains and can decide who to interact with.
If meta or any other company manages to create a better product it’s just natural that people tend to use it. I won’t use it, you may not use it and it’s totally fine! It’s about having options. Also as Mastodon’s CEO pointed out there’s no privacy concern, everything stays on your instance.
Glad you said this. People demanding large instances like this one defederate from stuff they don’t personally like are, frankly, very mislead and trying to be little dictators. That’s not their decision to make.
who wanted to defederate from meta only because they personally don’t like meta content
There’s two separate issues here. There’s some people demanding their instance defederate from others because it had one or two nsfw communities, or one poster on one thread in one community said something they don’t like. These people are ridiculous and need to touch grass.
Then there’s some people demanding defederation from Meta because of how demonstrably horrible they are.
This thread is conflating the two, possibly on purpose. The former group is ridiculous, the latter group is sensible.
