In other exchanges, @uriel @m have argued that such a large instances can over power any instance. So for this reason alone nobody may federate with FB. Any opinion?

@aswath @uriel @m @mistercharlie @fediversenews Facebook isn’t what’s being federated. It’s another social network, still in development, called P92.

@atomicpoet @aswath @uriel @m @mistercharlie @fediversenews Could a future extension to each 'verse platform implementation be a capability to block or filter content by originating platform? like configure a Mastadon instance to not relay content from P92 specifically; or leave that at the user preference level ("I don't want to see content from P92"). We already do that for specific instances, why not the - I don't want to say protocol - platform level? Or does that open more cans o worms?

@atomicpoet @aswath @uriel @m @mistercharlie @fediversenews As in its trivially easy to do already or it would be trivial to implement? Like an instance admin could block all PixelFed content?

@atomicpoet @uriel @m @mistercharlie @fediversenews Agreed. But their point is that even a fraction of their user base will be a unbearable load.
