@thenexusofprivacy @[email protected] @[email protected] I can’t see how anyone can stop Meta. They will do what they want with their *tens of millions* of insta accounts that will immediately take over. Other than existing in a walled-off server I can’t see what can be done to stop them.

@Chimaera We can't stop Meta from doing what they want with the millions of Insta accounts, and we can't stop instances who want to work with Meta from working with Meta. We can however have a Meta-free region of the fediverse, and it's very likely to be better in a lot of ways than the Meta-friendly region.
