Excellent article and it's of course a very serious concern regarding Meta's Project 92.
I want to use this thread to share one other concern that I've seen coming up constantly on Mastodon: overzealous instance admins that take things personally.
"You said X about me, I'll block your whole instance".
"I don't like a particular nuanced view that instance staff holds, #Fediblock now".
"Users of X instance reported me. I'll block the whole instance".
A few of these things happened in the last couple of days. We can't have instance admins defederating because of trivial petty stuff. The only thing this does is drive users to larger instances, among which there might be corporate interests.
It's premeditated, the "Drama" is used as a scapegoat & a precursor (Divide & disintegrate).
Typical tactics with conservative & neoliberal thrive on Repression/Regression/Chaos/Disorder (We're dealing with corrupt institutions & industry.).
