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.
That’s just one post that barely got any traction, asking for defederation from all instances federated to Meta…. Even the link to the petition they posted is just for blocking Meta, not everyone else. The Mastodon link they posted just tells you how to block Meta.
You don’t think you’re being dramatic? The want to block Meta is completely valid. To be clear, I do support blocking Meta. I do not support blocking instances federated to Meta - though I will try to limit interaction with those instance.
