DING DING DING. Here's Facebook's playbook:
Best thing we can hope for is a competitor to appear or something and then have a very split fediverse between instances, hence you cannot defederate without causing major harm
Reminds me a bit of how to deal with gangrene. Chop the leg at the ankle or the knee, drastic as it is, is better than lose the entire leg from the waist down, maybe some jewels included.
This is absolutely a bad outcome and I hope the pact prevents this from playing out.
However, I feel kind of ok with losing the subset of users that would accept and use a Facebook implementation of the fediverse. It directly defeats the purpose, regardless of how much better the UI/UX may be, and shows they didn't understand it in the first place.
