    I’ve read that XMPP article before, but it doesn’t convince me.

    Yes, Meta may “kill” the fediverse. That’s a risk. But either we take that risk, or we “kill” the fediverse ourselves by defederating. That’s my opinion.

    EDIT: Besides, defederating just hands them more users. Wouldn’t you rather keep the users, and allow them to see Meta content? Maybe even attract some Meta users here by inviting them? The launch of a Meta competitor is what’s causing the risk to the fediverse. Federating with them is how we can mitigate that risk.

      I read your edit, you make very good points there and here. We really should leave the power in the hands of users/sub/community mods to decide what they want, rather than instance owners acting like sub mods and making blanket decisions for all their users. That’s the reddit model.

      I assume filtering requirements requires changes to the Lemmy code base, which if they don’t already exist is surprising.
