@MariaLiv @supernovae @aral If we follow this metaphor, isolating the victims is the worst strategy; irl blaming the aggressor should be followed by accompaniment so that the victims understand that self-awareness is the path to freedom. Thus, blocking instances by eliminating bridges to freedom is like building walls against immigrants. I think the best strategy is around the idea of lobby instances proposed by @atomicpoet

@fsologureng @MariaLiv@universeodon.com @supernovae@universeodon.com @atomicpoet Federating with Facebook will be on their terms. Do you think they’re stupid? That they’re spending goodness knows how much money to build something that will enable us to get their users to leave? The defining characteristic of their platforms is that they decide what their users see. Please, let’s not be naïve. You can’t lobby an algorithm.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @fsologureng@chilemasto.casa @MariaLiv@universeodon.com @supernovae@universeodon.com Federation is always a two way street. If I don’t like the terms, I don’t federate. Simple as that. And for a few instances I run, I’m not federating no matter what anyway.

I do think there should be lobby servers to transition Meta users away from the service. But this is based on certain assumption that may not be true. If they’re not, oh well.
