    I’ve seen an argument that defederation would just hurt the fediverse, and that even an exploitative giant like Meta should therefore be welcomed.

    I think that’s like arguing that we should get rid of antitrust laws, which we have for good reason.

      If a Mastodon instance was run by someone who allowed a genocide to be fuelled by their platform, and earn money from the advertising, I think we’d defederate in a heart beat. It just doesn’t seem consistent to federate with them.
