Yea but the difference is most instances have ethical reasons for banning certain content.

Meta could randomly decide anti-meta content doesn’t belong on their platform. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is already the case.

Let say you comment somewhere that you make minimum wage, their algorithm picks up on it and now they have you as a low wage earner in their database.

This is a massive over simplification but illustrates the point.

And done. I love federation.

It won’t be like this forever, simply growing pains of a brand new rapidly growing platform.
