@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.
@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.
