I see both sides of the argument. I’m trying to migrate away from reddit because I’m tired of the toxicity. But I’m also trying to migrate away from reddit because I’m tired of people on high dictating how I’m allowed to interact with other people. Hopefully one day Beehaw can have the moderators and community managers necessary to allow federation with as many servers as possible without compromising the community. In the meantime I really can’t see myself wanting my main Lemmy account on an instance that restricts it so much.
I agree this seems kneejerk. If Meta refuses to abide by the standards of interoperability and openness then lock them out, but by doing so ahead of time the fediverse is committing the crime it’s pre-punishing Meta for.
