    I must genuinely ask? What does this accomplish, a lot of instances being split apart because one federates with meta and the other doesnt, its not like the meta posts are gonna make it to your instance if you defederate meta, so you are really just splitting the community over nothing. Privacy wise, activity pub is public, by design, so they can just already pull all the information it exposes, and likely do. And finally? How does this stop EEE?

      I suppose if we burn our own community to the ground the moment we’re Embraced, there won’t be anything left for Meta to Extend or Extinguish.

        Exactly.

        Its not being Chicken Licking and freaking out that the sky is falling but we certainly dont need to play our hand this early in the game.

        We know Meta is not a good faith actor. We know they will try to subsume or extinguish the fediverse if they cant control it but we dont need to go pissing our knickers and do the work for them.
