It's not about dictating terms.
It's about an open discussion about collective action.

You can't solve everything on an individual basis. Sometimes we need solidarity and need to work together.

I think there's nothing wrong with discussing the best options, and people voicing their opinion.

Would you like your email provider to block all emails from gmail accounts from reaching you? Just because some of us consider Google as an evil privacy invading company and want them to stop participating in the email infrastructure?

Why would we treat Meta differently than Google?

Go ahead and block all emails coming from gmail accounts, and block all toots coming from Meta-accounts. But don’t force it upon the rest of us. The internet is about free choices. Email is, and fediverse is.

If we preemptive block all toots from meta-accounts, we’re killing the Fediverse. And maybe that is exactly what Meta wants. So don’t take this bait!

@Grutjes Sure! I’m all for talking

But like my post said, this is about enforcing their stuff on others :ablobwink: there is no talking but rather: “you listen to me otherwise we will block you”

That’s not a conversation but a monologue

Blocking means you do not want to talk about it

I think it's more about cases when X blocks Y for federating with Z. I saw a buch of blocks like that.
