Yayy, fuck up your instance and use it for a damn Meta proxy.
I hope if they try that the instances simply defederate. And I like Federation and want more people on here, and I miss the variety of non tech content. But still, no thanks
People actively choosing a new network by Meta are just too stupid to be worth breaking our ecosystem, period.
this is wildly elitist holy shit
Why? There is a long history of legal battles, academic studies, reports, news articles, and everything else detailing how Facebook, Instagram, and Meta are simply rotten all the way through. It's a concerted effort by them going back years. Anyone signing up for a new service by them either isn't paying attention, or is ok with self harm.
