@DiaDemiEmi @mods While I appreciate your optimism, and honestly hope I am wrong, do keep in mind that on one side we already are completely cut off from everyone using Meta products, so nothing will change on that part. The only real problem is what to do with the big instance, which would probably still be able to remain in the federation, which effectively would mean nothing would change.
And on the other hand, Meta has already shown time and time again they will ONLY act in a way that provides them growth, at the expense of everyone caught in their gravity field. Expecting otherwise is very likely to be wishful thinking.
So yeah, sadly we're going to agree to disagree on this one.
Again, though, I honestly hope you're right. Life probably has already made me too much of a pessimist.
