Defederation is cancer and it will kill Fediverse faster than any Meta.
Ability to choose with whom to federate with is a core concept of the Fediverse
If you don't want any defederation, join an instance that doesn't do it.
Yeah, and it will end up with huge echochambers full of xenophobes scared of everything and defederating everyone. Defederation is the last step, not the first. Here, paranoia over what might happen years later down a very slippery slope makes people throw away the opportunity to actually grow the platform instead of leaving it with barely any people at all.
I don't get why they want to defederate without any experience of it either. Let's see what Meta brings to the table. Maybe they'll shine a light on the Fediverse and we get a more varied group of people on the platform.
What Meta has brought to the table in the past. "Maybe we should give them a ~~second~~ ~~third~~ ~~fourth~~ umpteenth chance!
Anyone wondering it's a long winded article blaming meta for a genocide, personally I don't really see how it fits the conversation beyond 'zuck bad' because it's nothing that's going to happen here
It is an illustration (and a particularly powerful one) of just where Meta's ethics lie.
You don't invite serial killers to your Halloween party. You don't invite Meta to your online community. Same reason in both cases.
