So we're all pro federation and decentralization, until we aren't... I think this is a very preemptive and paranoid measure, but thankfully it will work out just as the technology was built for, some will block, some wont, everyone will make their choice, and be happy in their corner of the internet.

Would defederating make things worse? I would want to see posts from these users and blocking them would force users to use Meta's app and in turn more likely for users to switch over and create accounts on their app.
I understand its a big scary corporate business but the fedaverse should be open. Closing off a potential big userbase does not seem to be the smartest move and it opens up the rabithole of instances starting to block each other left and right, ruining the entire point.
