It’s a weird own goal for various Mastodon admins who are running a decentralized social network based on interoperable protocols to pledge that they won’t interoperate with services from existing social networks if built on the same open protocols.
It’s not even the hypocrisy, it’s just dumb and undermines the entire point of interoperable protocols.

@carnage4life I am really curious if Meta will split its users into (self created) groups. That have their own rules and moderation. Otherwise it is too easy to block all of it at once.
Then again, almost every feature Meta has copied into its product has been implemented poorly, so their federated product will probably suck as well. But it may serve as a major gateway to the fediverse for tons of people, so that is positive.
