@TheActualBrian@mastodon.social @mahmoudajawad@mastodon.online @clifff@shakedown.social @Gargron@mastodon.social Another way to think about it: if we cut them off after there are, say, 50,000 follows back and forth between Meta-based services and non-, then we're cutting off 50,000 follows "for no reason". If we do it now, we're cutting off many potential follows but zero that actually exist. And if we refuse to *ever* cut them off, we're setting the fediverse back by 10+ years as Meta screws it over. There's no *good* time to do it. Least-bad is now.
