Yeah, to quote the Joker here “it’s about sending a message.” Doesn’t matter about the technical reality, it just would’ve determined the wording. “If they try to federate with us, we won’t have any of it.”
I didn’t see them say that though, saw a Mastodon post and an admin thread on .world that specifically said they would wait and see.
Yeah, but the admin clarified in some replies that the moderation problems and possibility of receiving ads are already enough to choose to defederate.
They didn’t give the absolute certainty but basically made their intentions clear.
But I agree with you, most people wanted to get a clear message against it and not just a “if that happens we will very likely defederate”.
I still think both approaches are fine, it’s good to decide by ethics and it’s good to wait and decide by rationality too. No wrong choices, it’s just a matter of preference
