And additionally defederate from any instances that maintain connection. I don't want to sound extremist (but I prolly do), but here in ActivityWorld, I feel like the FBs and Googles of the world trying to get a toehold in here is a more dangerous problem than the "free speech/nazi" thing was. 4 comments

@jens @nattiegoogie I am also on a tiny instance (me and a friend), but I will still preemptively defederate from anything Meta/Google/etc. Not to shield us from them, but so they don't get to see us either. Let it remain a walled garden that eventually - hopefully - withers away.

I've been flirting with spinning up my own Fedi instance since Elon bought Twitter ... and I probably will eventually. Bigger picture, though ... the last war here has, oversimplified, been trans-folk vs nazis ... and even if trans-folk freak you out, what kind of PoS do you have to be to side with the nazis. This next war is gonna be "FOSS Communists" vs "but-all-my-friends-are-on-FB Capitalists", and it's going to be a lot harder to tell the good guys from the bad guys.  |

@nattiegoogie I don't think you sound extremist. I understand the motivation, I just don't think it applies to me (yet).
The thing about having a mostly single-user instance where I almost exclusively post publicly is that I'm not really protecting anyone or anything with that second step.
If I had more users here, maybe.
