🤔

1) There are Instagram accounts posting content today that would prompt many Mastodon admins to defederate immediately.

2) Those accounts are not being moderated by Instagram. User reports are closed without action. So their Threads version of those accounts will likely also not be moderated.

3) So many Mastodon admins will defederate from Threads shortly after federation.

So I'm not sure why folks are spending so much time debating whether defederating before the inevitable harm is bad?

@mekkaokereke Federation should be contingent on a clear plan and commitment from Meta to protect fedi users from harassment campaigns. Minimum.

@misc from what I've read, Meta actually are intending to have Fedi instances adhere to the rules set by Meta, rather than Meta adhere to existing Fedi rules.

So it isn't really Meta joining the Fediverse, but Meta trying to claim and control the Fediverse.

@81732bit @misc Yeah, that’s definitely how it will go, instances wanting to federate with Meta will probably have to apply and in the application will be an agreement to follow their moderation rules.

@Kyleric @81732bit guess we can’t say we live in the dumbest timeline as long as Twitter still exists

@81732bit @misc Which is funny because anyone who's been using Mastodon for long knows how that's gonna go: "ban breastfeeding but allow transphobia" gives them Parler and Poast but not Mastodon flagship or Art.
