thats a long way to go for 'why we should not accept aunt betty's upvote on this cat picture'.. but hey, you do you man.
I feel like you're arguing in bad faith. Meta/Facebook has shown for years what kind of company they are and a lot of folks don't want that. That's why they're here and not on Facebook.
I feel that you need to be the one to supply arguments to convince us of how they're not going to do what they have done in the past here and how they've changed as a company rather than the other way around.
im not here for blocking meta/facebook on 'being assholes' reasons. i need actual, technical , server-level reasons.
for example, nestle and facebook are both terrible actors. do i block their SMTP servers? nope. im not going out of my way to block companies at the protocol level unless i have a reason to do so. its extra work, and honestly, mostly necessary outside resource issues.
meta doesnt control the protocol anymore than they control SMTP.
i feel like you just have no technical understanding of the communication platforms
meta isnt in a position to kill the fediverse with their single server and inability to modify ActivityPub.
im still hearing a lot of 'but my feels' and no 'this will break your server/communication because..'
