I started swaying towards defederating after reading this article, maybe you’d like to take a look and see what you think? It argues much better than I ever could.
I mean maybe, but I can’t help to feel a little like this is optimistic speculation, while I’ve read very well-written arguments for blocking threads.net that seem less (albeit still) speculative. I just don’t want to lose what we have, and if we really want to keep growing then we can do so without Meta.
My impression is that the hope is it will stop them from doing EEE on us
