A very detailed article about the whole Meta (Instagram/Threads) vs. Fediverse discussions. It's a long read, but well-worth it if you're interested in the subject.

Ah so there are some people on the fediverse who believe that any restriction is bad... Like the ppl who think domain blocks are too strict and stuff like that.

Pretty much everyone I've seen on Mastodon knows that Meta is bad. However, I've seen quite a few people echoing the sentiment that "hey I know Meta is bad but blocking is wrong & they haven't done anything wrong on the fediverse". The thought comes across as a bit naive to me but... to each their own.
