How is defederating going to help here? I'm genuinely asking. Doesn't that just stop their content from showing on our feeds? It shouldn't affect the amount of user data they can collect which isn't much anyways because we're not using their proprietary software.
My understanding is that people on exploding heads for example can still read these comments too. They just can't reply. Or they can but we don't see their replies. Only the people that federate with them do.
Am I getting something wrong here?
I also dont underetand the tactic.
Couldnt anyone just start a single user instance and gain access that way?
I think only users of that instance see the replies and not even other federated instances with them, since the replication needs to sync with the source (of which none of them can do).
