If there is even a single gram of truth to this…
Any instance that goes along with such a thing will be lost to surveillance capitalism. I don’t care how large they are or who they are, any instance that becomes Meta’s bitch should be defederated immediately by all others. Let the largest few get swallowed up whole by Silicon Valley if they’re dumb enough to do it. The rest of us will rebuild.
I really hope no one is stupid enough to take Meta up on this if it’s true. https://beach.city/@vantablack/110594120842443355
This is exactly the risk faced by instances that are big enough to draw the attention of surveillance capitalists.
They are a weakness in the system, because they are such a ripe target for acquisition and abuse. That's always what happens when a player accumulates power. And that's not a technical issue - it's a policy problem.
For example, if there was an agreed policy that no instance should be bigger than 1000 members (or it gets defederated) that's wouldn't be an issue.
@chrisg Exactly.
Heck, it should be baked into the protocol.
I mean that’s what I’m doing with the Small Web. Only the instance size limit there is 1 because I’ve had enough of this bullshit.
