We came here to get away from corporations. Its not about censorship. You sound like a corporate shill with that take.

How does defederating protect you from Facebook? Honest question.

Their instance won't be able to interact with ours. If everyone does it we basically wall them in their own garden. But this time of our making. This honestly won't stop their content being reposted here.

My impression is that the hope is it will stop them from doing EEE on us

I thought we were here to say f off to one corporation. Can I still use the local grocery store??

Idk he sounds pretty reasonable to me and is specifically not lumping everyone into the same group as you are. Not everyone shares your opinion. Not everyone cares enough. I think the individual should be able to decide for themselves, and the ability to block an instance yourself is something desperately needed over this kind of wanton shutting out of things only some people are against.
