   Some fediverse instance admins: “How cool, Meta invited us to the adult table.”

   Yes, they did.

   Because you’re what’s for dinner.

     @MaryTheKnife @aral And for that, they've strutted around acting like they know what best for small, independent instance admins like me. One of them blocked me because I said they hadn't earned my trust. Talk about ensuring I *definitely* don't trust them now.

     @MaryTheKnife @aral I'm not familiar with mastodon.art. What's the story there?

     @noodlejetski @aral Appreciate the details. Also worth noting that the post you link blames them for this flap regarding Meta.

     @roadriverrail .art's admin can be very trigger-happy when it comes to defederation. at times they'll block an instance X because the instance X doesn't block an instance Y that .art is having some problems with. judging from stux's timeline, he's just had enough of their shenanigans and didn't want to deal with them anymore.

     @r00tAdmin @noodlejetski @aral Definitely agree hearing all sides is useful, and thank you for linking that thread. It came through in my feed just now, actually, but others should read it.

     In either case, I'm not super stoked by how that went down.

     @roadriverrail

     for balance, it's always good to hear from both sides. also, .art is no longer blocked by mstdn so there's that.

     @r00tAdmin @noodlejetski @aral While burnout is certainly understandable, I think it's perfectly reasonable to find his behavior over the last 24 hours to not have been particularly mature.

     @sanjay191_18 No idea. Have my suspicions from threads I’ve seen but I’ll keep them to myself until there’s proof.

     @aral I can only see Meta and their cohorts either blackwashing federated media or applying an Embrace-Expand-Extinguish strategy.

     The Stallmanist in me tells they are going to create a two tiered mstdn...
