If Meta is really working on a new ActivityPub-powered social network, I see it as a very positive signal overall--my personal feelings towards Meta notwithstanding. For one, it's validation for our entire ecosystem from the biggest player. It also tells me that they don't see themselves as strong enough to keep users locked inside their walled garden anymore. It means the tide is really turning for interoperable social media, and that's always been the goal.

@Gargron

is it possible to block an instance at the fediverse level

@ares @Gargron Yeah, you can block whatever instances you want yourself, and so can your instance moderators.
