Care to give a summary on why you think they should be blocked ahead of any bad acting? Yes, there is some concern about Meta attempting EEE, but ultimately they're a large platform that can bring a lot of users and attention to the Fediverse. There's nothing preventing large instances from blocking them down the line, and with user level instance blocking coming in 0.19 to Lemmy (not sure if Mastodon et al have something similar), you can block them personally yourself if you wish, rather than having that thrust upon you by your instance admins.

Their "test run" was only sending threads posts and not receiving any fediverse posts.

This is them shouting their intent, as far as i'm concerned.

Because Meta has a long track record of being outright an evil corporation(not figuratively, literally).

Meta has already shown its hand multiple times, why would it be different this time?

"evil corporation" is quite the tautology.

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Not OP, but some corporations are "less evil" than others, or at the very least less obvious about being evil. "Evil corporation" means they're extra evil.

No one has articulated it well. It's all just "meta bad". Can't we just defederate if they pull some crap and be no worse off than we are now?

Essentially because after they did something bad it's likely too late. But others can explain this in more detail with more knowledge than I have.
