  • same, but i have to add

    I’d change my position if and when Meta makes any proprietary changes to the protocol or seemingly intentional “misimplementations” of it that impact interoperability.

    This implies that the problem will come after they try to change anything. However, there are many things they can do without changing the protocol.

    1. With their growth in population they can create centralized communities that others will follow or try to participate in. This ecosystem, once acquired, can be ransomed for favors. What happens when Facebook implies, not through an announcement but through precedent, that anyone who doesn’t defederate Burggit will lose access to certain communities that are now big enough to be “core” communities?
    2. Other stuff I can’t be bothered to type but can be summed up as “through sheer size and force, their power will grow until their reach is so deep entrenched into our lair, that our walls will turn to acid and our halls the beast’s stomach.”

    that having been said, i couldn’t give two shits about meta so i don’t think we should be preemptively trying to defederate without even thinking about it thoroughly. I’m personally, similarly to you, here cuz I don’t want defederations to happen. Hopefully we stay free. :)
