    What was it? Meta wanted to integrate to the fediverse just a few months ago? And a lot of people couldn’t see the problem with it

      This was a wolf in sheep’s clothing move. They don’t care about federation.

        Yeah but some people were going on about free speech. I hope they see it now, especially after Metas new policy on “free speech” where they say they will openly allow for the most racist kinds of speech to go unregulated. God I hate Zucc so much, sometimes I wish hell were real

          They care about free speech and competition about as much as the Borg.

      For me it was less about not seeing the problem with it (I don’t trust them at all), and more about making sure that people pick Mastodon instead of Threads.

      Which is why I was pushing for instances to not fully defederate, but use settings that hide the content by default and let users opt in to see it. That way if someone has 1 friend/local entity that they want to follow on threads, they can still pick Mastodon and opt in to see that content.

      After the recent changes, I’m not sure if that’s the right move anymore
