I’m right in the middle of the move so I don’t have time to write anything at length on the whole “mastodon.social rolling out the red carpet for Threads/Instagram/Meta/Zuckerberg” thing.

In a nutshell:

- The *only* leverage the fediverse has over a trillion-dollar corporation is social legitimacy.

- That is exactly what the flagship instance is providing to Meta.

- It matters less whether your tiny/personal instance blocks them; given their size, you’re effectively blocking yourself.
