   People forget what Twitter was like before its IPO.

   MySpace used to integrate status updates with Facebook.

   It was all janky AF.

   Everyone is spoiled, and it came at the expense of entrenching digital, social, and cloud technology post-financial crisis.

   This specific argument should never have been "defederate Facebook or not," it should have been "is defederation the right way to block Facebook out of the fediverse," but it barely even matters now. We've seen far too many admins ready to throw everyone under the bus for the sake of growth, and I don't see that stopping regardless of what happens with Facebook.

   It doesn't even matter what your instance decides, you'll still wind up federating with someone who is OK with Facebook.

   Social networks are not always about how many people use them, but more specifically *who* uses them.

   Twitter itself was never that popular compared to Facebook.

   It always had an outsized influence on public culture due to who used it.

   Well, now tech people and academics have migrated over to the Fediverse.

   Which means that if you want to talk to tech people and academics, you have to figure out how to use it.

   For many people, the Fediverse is becoming critical for work.
