I agree this seems kneejerk. If Meta refuses to abide by the standards of interoperability and openness then lock them out, but by doing so ahead of time the fediverse is committing the crime it’s pre-punishing Meta for.

I just won’t post on the tankie instances like I didn’t post on the tankie subreddits. And if the instance I’m on starts censoring like that, I’ll make an account on a different one.

I’m going to keep using Lemmy because I want it to succeed but reddit is pretty indispensable (for now) for finding answers to technical problems so I’ll probably never fully leave.

That official app is never touching my phone though.
