Maybe I'm naive but I kinda don't get it. People talk about defederating as if...what, all Meta IP addresses will be magically blocked from scraping you content? Any script kiddie can harvest Lemmy/Mastodon/whatever content.
Has Meta shown itself to be a bad actor? Yes. Should my email provider block all emails from Meta? Well...that's a bit much I think? If Facebook email still existed, should my email provider block that?
My point is yes, Meta bad, but all thread users also bad? I thought
and apparently I'm very wrong here
that the Federation paradigm was kinda like email. And the only email I want blocked is a domain where every single user is malicious, not a domain run by a malicious entity which has normal people as users, who aren't necessarily very tech literate.
I don't actually care, but I just find it a little confusing tbh.
It's not about looking what's happening in the garden, it's about entering in the garden. It's two very different situations.
