So, decide for everyone to block entire, large servers because, ... why?
Why decide to blanket block anything to do with Meta before it even exists?

@TheActualBrian@mastodon.social @mahmoudajawad@mastodon.online @clifff@shakedown.social @Gargron@mastodon.social Short version: to avoid the same problem as Google with XMPP, Microsoft with SMTP, etc. To avoid the leverage and pressure they gain by interoperating - they can make incompatible extensions to ActivityPub. Once they do that, we're stuck either supporting that (expensive, kills dev momentum) or not supporting it (being second-class citizens on our own servers.) You could say "Meta won't do that" and I'd say "that seems very, very unlikely."
