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..'
