Seeing as this conversation is going on everywhere right now, what's the approach to Meta going to be here on UK? Personally I'm all for defederation as soon as possible, what does everyone else think?

I appreciate what you're trying to say, that we shouldn't jump to negative conclusions and maybe give it a chance, but if you need some explicit proof that this happens, that Meta probably dont have ours, or the fediverses, best interests at heart, then we're going to be waiting a long time.

Surely the beauty of federation is that you can choose?

Yes, and currently we only have the choice together as an instance. I'm using my voice to raise my concerns. Hopefully a concesus is reached.

Then users can block Meta if they wish and live happily in the gardens of their own making.

If that happens, great! Will Meta respect that I'm blocking them and not consume my data and content? Do they have any reason to? Any obligation, any law that says they have to? Probably not... so my choice will be let Meta take data against my consent or leave the fediverse.
