Glad you said this. People demanding large instances like this one defederate from stuff they don't personally like are, frankly, very mislead and trying to be little dictators. That's not their decision to make.
who wanted to defederate from meta only because they personally don't like meta content
There's two separate issues here. There's some people demanding their instance defederate from others because it had one or two nsfw communities, or one poster on one thread in one community said something they don't like. These people are ridiculous and need to touch grass.
Then there's some people demanding defederation from Meta because of how demonstrably horrible they are.
This thread is conflating the two, possibly on purpose. The former group is ridiculous, the latter group is sensible.
This right here.
It's not about disliking some community that someone personally disagrees with for whatever reason, it's about trying to not have the entire system taken down by a vastly powerful corporate entity with an almost endless track record of being consistently malignant.
