Please keep in mind that with an open forum you could just as likely be talking to a Meta Employee / Contractor vs a regular human person. So when you start reading things so early on a platform that just separated from corporate overreach and those people you are reading are suddenly pro corporate, do a little critical thinking
Or, and I know this can be a difficult concept to grasp, some people may simply disagree that blanket defederation is absolutely necessary.
I'm certainly skeptical of Meta's intentions, and if they do start federating, I'll probably make an account on a non-federated instance as well, but this idea of "Anyone who disagrees with me must be a shill" really isn't an attitude that's particularly alluring.
No, it isn't a difficult concept to grasp. I'm reminding people that, unless you know who you are talking to personally, they literally could be anyone, especially people who are here with agendas.
