@EnglishMobster As I don’t like writing books, I’m going to keep it short. A badly moderated instance is hell for other instances, and their users. There’s a reason why people should be banned from platforms, and it’s very common practice to defederate from instances with a lot of abusers.

So yeah, having individuals just block individuals doesn’t scale, and having no good moderation makes for a horrible platform.

@EnglishMobster IOW, yes, I can see this split ripping fedi in two, but I think you’re wrong in thinking that the FB side will be the one that most of the people on here now want to be on.

It will end up just becoming another for-profit hole, exactly like the ones so many of us are trying to get away from.

@EnglishMobster Yep, might makes right, why bother resisting, gotcha.

I’m not even saying you’re wrong about the damage that this could do, but you’re also ignoring how FB being here and dominating will make the fedi be a place that many just don’t want to be anymore.

And yeah, great that you can talk to your friends, but I see so many people be afraid of libs of tiktok, and other hate groups entering on an instance that, according to you, should never be defederated from because of its size.

@0xtero

Yeah, kbin/mastodon seem to have slightly different dialects. :)

@0xtero @Roundcat @EnglishMobster Oh sorry, the reply was meant for English Mobster, apologies for the confusion.

@0xtero @Roundcat @EnglishMobster Your entire post is about how “they’re going to have all the people, so resisting will be useless”. So it’s the classic “might makes right” attitude.

@EnglishMobster @0xtero @Roundcat So what you’re saying is “ignore all the horrible shit Facebook as done, they have more people and that allows them to do anything they want” ?
