There's such a huge difference in how this is being handled between well-meaning-but-ineffective admins that want to avoid confrontation vs admins who are survivors and Have Seen Some Shit. Especially folks who saw this before during the LJ days or have seen what happened to XMPP.

Listen to the survivors, folks. Facebook doesn't give a flying fuck about Fedi, they want to push everyone back to their platform and destroy competition. We've seen this before, we'll see this again, and the only way to fight it is to deny them a platform before they gain traction.

Many of us are here because big social media platforms failed us, actively abused our personal info, became increasingly hostile spaces to queer and LGBTQ+ folk, and killed services that allowed us to manage attention and administrate our own spaces -- in favor of ad revenue and maximizing ROI. Fuck that, and fuck the notion of them forcing Fedi to capitulate to their demands.

I have absolute respect for fediadmins that are working very hard against the troll push on this one. Keep fighting the good fight. 💜
