I’m seeing discussions on other instances about how a “federated” corporate instance should be handled, i.e. Meta, or really any major company.

What would kbin.social’s stance be towards federating/defederating with a Meta instance?

Or what should that stance be?

    @Kaldo Thank you for the link, that’s exactly what prompted this thread!

    I think it’s just too hard to draw the line of “not rich enough to be a concern.” Amazon instance is obviously bad. Pepsi? If they put their minds to it they could do something lol. Hasbro?? They’re greedy enough for sure.

    Or what if a company starts as a relatively minor player, but suddenly get big. Steam acquires the entire video game industry or something lmao. Then we still have the same problem, they’re going to be motivated differently.

    So I say we defederate all profit driven instances. They can still make magazines on our instances, if they can follow our rules. If they have trouble following our rules… Well, then I definitely don’t want them in a position to affect the whole Fediverse lol.
