So Instagram is coming out with a Twitter competitor* that runs on ActivityPub and will be interoperable with Mastodon. Seems awesome to me at first glance, though I have some reservations about how IG’s instance may be run.

There’s talk that some Masto instances will immediately block IG’s instance when it comes online. How do y’all feel about that?

I don’t see the benefit in immediately blocking IG’s instance. At least give federation a fair shot, IMO.
