Lol are you serious? What, did you want a little bubble on the internet where corporations don't exist? What does "open source" mean to you, open to only the entities you allow in? Like the article says, join an instance that defederates every corporate entity or make your own, but don't blame developers of open source software for keeping it open.
"Open source" means anyone can use or reuse the source code, it doesn't require you to show content from entities you don't trust.
The great thing about the fediverse is that we are all free to create or join instances that have federation policies we prefer.
Exactly. Mastadon devs aren't "in bed with vipers" because they aren't somehow closing their open source software to an entity.
None of this has anything to do with Mastodon's source code though, I don't know why you keep bringing up open source
Read the first comment in this thread about Mastadon's devs being "in bed with vipers"
I assumed that was about mastodon.social not defederating and Eugene Rochko saying not to worry about Threads
Eugene Rochko even says to join a server that defederates Meta if you want in the article.
