Sean TilleyI wrote our first Opinion piece in response to @gruber 's own perspectives on the negative reactions a good chunk of the #fediverse has towards Meta's impending presence here.

L'égrégore André ꕭꕬ@deadsuperhero @gruber On the comparison with email I think it's a good parallel: every serious email provider has an extensive blocklist against domains sending spam/phishing/etc mail, much in the same way every serious fedi instance have an extensive blocklist against bad actor instances.
A lot of Mastodon admins are simply viewing Meta as a lot of email providers are viewing Jeremy Jaynes or Davis Wolfgang Hawke: they shouldn't be allowed on the service because of their documented history.

@deadsuperhero @gruber Oh yes! Gmail and others deciding that "small" email providers were to be labeled as spam just because they're not enterprise sized* would be like a couple of massive mastodon instances (like .Social and the incoming Meta) deciding that small instances were silenced by default even without a history of bad behavior.
