I don't quite understand, would it be harder to defederate later, once they start becoming evil? Lemmy and Mastodon were founded to actively distance ourselves from the likes of Twitter and Reddit. We're not here because it's the only option we have or because we're creating a whole new system. We're here because we chose to and decide that we could live without relying on those big corporations. Surely, people here are more willing to give Meta the middle finger and wouldn't mind blocking Threads if that ever happened right?
Meta is already evil and has been for years. You don't get back with your abusive ex and say "I'll leave him if he hits me again", you get that fucker out of your life. Meta is the internet's abusive ex
"I'll leave him if he facilitates more than 1 genocide". Shit, too late.
"I'll leave him if he actively facilitates more than 1.5 genocides (0.5 ethnic killings)". Damn it.
I'm amazed that people can let a genocide slide like it isn't the fucking worst thing in the world.
