I think we shouldn’t rush to defederate #Barcelona until we know more about their implementation, moderation policies or observe detrimental behaviour like them injecting ads.
You can argue EEE, but they have a proven track record when it comes to open source like React, PyTorch and many other projects!

in reply to dansup • • •yes, we should learn about their implementation, moderation policies etc and THEN rush to block them.
Gotta do it in the right order.

The fediverse as it exists is one of if not the greatest threat to traditional centralized social media. That is a problem for a company that owns a few centralized platforms. Simply, Meta is not going to support it out of the goodness of their hearts. They are the biggest player in the field, and they intend to keep it that way.

in reply to dansup • • •I'm not sure what their f/oss record has to do w/anything. It's all going to be about their behavior, the culture - hell I'll presume they won't inject ads in feeds.
& I would argue the prudent thing for small-instance admins to do is domain-block pre-emptively.
Here's why: We know what Facebook culture is like. We know where Barcelona users will be coming from. Blocking THE domain IS REVERSABLE once they've demonstrated the culture behaves in a way that doesn't harm small instances.
