This is why I agree with avoiding federation with them for now. We need a more granular federation model than the current All or Nothing setup, to cut down on the whole data sponge thing from the corps. And there's a need for moderation toolkits that don't yet exist.

I think if those things existed, federation would be good because one of the shittier things about the corporate walled garden of social media is that their users can't see outside the walls. If they could, they might choose a different ecosystem.
