    Generally disagree. If you want the Fediverse to become a large open standard, if not the largest, then this is going to just be a matter of course. Companies will seek to commodify all their offerings, whether they use open standards or not. Many exist that commodify on top of open-source software and open standards. The important part is to ACHEIVE the open standard to begin with, and I think it’s short-sighted to pre-emptively block something that could be a strong item down that path, and before it might show itself to be more harmful towards that goal.

    It can always be blocked later, situation-depending.

      I’ve said this before:

      But here’s the thing: do you really want the Facebook crowd in the Fediverse? You’ve probably been to any facebook comment section of any facebook publication, and it’s cancer. One thing I liked about reddit before its fuckups, is that it was not facebook (or twitter for that matter).

      So, screw facebook. I’m quite okay with instances blocking that noise.
