This is a bit political but i feel this should be looked at. Whatever it's on on the Lemmy instance or the Mastodon instances.

My main concern is about the concept of Embrase Extend Extinguish they could use.

I think this is an overreaction... Meta may think it can do an E^3 on the ActivityPub universe, but the thing is...

  1. This community (Wider Fediverse) is built on the principal that The Content Moderation is the value add. I am here because i don't wanna be trolled by queer hating ableist, keyboard warriors, that or called a heretic because most Catholics on social media have drunk the right wing kool aid.
  2. Content Moderation is impossible at Meta's scale, just not economically viable.. 2a This is why AP exists to allow scaling without losing the ability to moderate effectively
  3. Even if it was, Meta's profits depend on allowing As MUCH CONTENT as possible, so it's in there interest to moderate badly.

They'll get defederated within a week or less by all but mastodon.social probably. As soon as some transphobic arsehat, throws a fit over mutual aid.. They will keep going for a while talking to the people that talk to them but eventually they will rip the fedicode out of their codebase. Just like Gab did..

AND During the time that the fediverse code is active in Meta's thing it will introduce a fuckton of people to the concept of federation, and some will see the benefits of.. a more "Community Driven Internet" so to speak, so that's a win for us.

Addendum: None of this is to say I'm against blocking Meta, on sheer principal. I just think the traditional advertising based business model of the CorpoNet, won't be able to make profit here. Not worried about Meta at all. There are other corpos and other models I am worried about though. If we see something like TapTalk hit the fedi I'll freak the fuck right out, for example
