Segregation? Don't be so ridiculous, people are free to come here. It's the corporation we are shunning, not the people currently forced to use it by the network effect.

It's about maintaing a social network that isn't controlled or influenced by Meta.

If you federate with Meta, you are encouraging people to stay on Meta. If you defederate, you're encouraging them to try other platforms.

Well that make no sense.
You say people are "forced" to use FB/Insta because of the network effect. So they are joining because they can reach the people they want to reach.

But somehow, if we federate with P92, which is going to offer a bigger reach/network on the instance that federates, we are encouraging them to stay on Meta. I would argue that it's the inverse, it will show the users on P92 that they have alternatives to Meta where they can also reach the network of people they want to reach.

I think this could be a good thing for the Fediverse, as long as we maintain our principles, which we will do. If they don't behave then we can defederate. Blocking them before hand is just keeping the status quo, which is like you said forcing the user to use Meta because of the network effect.

@nicdex @feditips @supernovae @mastodonmigration @jerry @jarm @kainoa @stux @dansup @jessel @oliphant Meta is not going to be just another (albeit very large) instance. It will have huge influence and sway and will want to shape the fediverse for its own benefit.

Meta is not doing this for the same reasons as the rest of the instances are doing it. They want data. They want profit. They want us to be under their power again.

They're not coming here to be nice.

Are you proposing a whitelist approach or defederate with anything that remotely resembles a bot mob from ()? It can make look like digging its own hole in defencelessness, to be frank. Isn't this supposed to be an opposite that we do: absorb the and let people choose what they really want in their feed?

@vintprox @ollie_francis

Fediverse is not supposed to be an "anything goes" place.

It's supposed to be a place where each community can decide what is allowed and not allowed, and where people are free to move communities or start a new community.
