@Hexorg I agree, to a degree. Generally I support federation without cooperation, if that makes sense. The sole purpose of federating with #Meta should be to get people to leave #Meta.

Would they though? I mean whoever hasn’t left Meta yet isn’t swayed by their antics and Meta is essentially promising too add more content by leeching off of fediverse
