MODERATORS
They setting themselves up for a major GDPR suit, as well other lawsuits for violating privacy policies of other services that never opted in.
I wonder if there’s a way to fuck with the info that is sent to Facebook in some way from instances, kind of like an obfuscation method. So instead of us defederating, we force them to due to spamming their fetched content with nonsense.
I wouldn't advise it. We don't want to set precedent that you can shovel garbage at whatever federated site you disagree with. It would be funny to append all Threads requests with Zuckerberg photoshopped as neckbeard Cesar. It's less funny when bad actors use unsuspecting users to spread misinformation or bigotry.
Or CSAM. Didn't that just happen?
