    This is how the tried and true agenda goes using Meta’s threads.net and the Fediverse as an example.

    • Meta’s site gets wildly popular because of corporate backing
    • Meta’s site does something on purpose to cause poor operability with the rest of the Fediverse
    • People not on Meta’s site can no longer properly communicate with people on Meta’s site, they go to Meta’s site
    • The Fediverse gets fractured and nobody cares because everyone is on Meta’s site
    • Meta’s site is the sole survivor and the rest of the platform dies.
    • Meta enshitifies their site as corporations typically do (think Twitter)

    So yeah, ban the shit out of them. The proper term is defederate them, but do it with extreme prejudice.

      And if an instance get widely popular and gets corporate backing? Should we ban the shit out of them too?

          I’m not just taking about facebook. Corpos will come sooner or later. Or maybe one of the bigger instances will become corpo.

            Facebook is already here, they’ve practically got their finger on the start button. Yes, ban the shit out of them, and if one of the lemmy instances suddenly has shareholders to appease instead of their users, yes, ban the shit out of them.
