    They will drown us out even if they don’t want in that case. Them just using the service normally will flood all our feeds with posts from their service based on the sheer number of them.

      That’s why every instance worth its salt will defederate from day one

      I expect to see zero posts from Facebook on my feed

        I think (and hope) so too. Some pro leniency stances from mastodon bigwigs got me a little worried, that’s all.

          I don’t really care about Gargron and the other growth-focused admins, I literally use an instance that hides stuff from mastodon.social lol

      switch to white list mode after certain point I guess. Or introduce some protocol level cooldown thresholds where if you are an instance with 1m users or just 3 bots, then you auto block those.
