…Good. they should move their happy asses to a mastodon server, if it pains them so.

It is a mastodon server. A mastodon server run by meta. So how exactly is defederation going to benefit you?

Check my edit. And it benefits me by meta can eat a bag of dicks.

this wont cause meta to eat a bag of dicks. it doesn’t actually hurt meta if you defederate with them. if they want to harvest data, they can already do that by standing up their own activitypub server and just subscribing to everything.
not everyone is as technically savvy as we are, or as aware of corporate politics as we are. as much as I think they should be, they arent, and so they use facebook and threads and twitter. I dont think we should exclude them on the sole basis of their ignorance in this particular area.
Most people don’t care about that shit as much as we do. and if a social network doesn’t have a good supply of normies, then it devolves into a circlejerk cesspit real quick.
