@chrismessina @gruber you see it as "unlikely to have an impact" as though this is an futile attack on Meta. It is in fact a defensive move, to protect against Meta-originating trolls, advertisers and influencers from inundating Fedi spaces.
FB has failed to reign in it's users' worst impulses time after time, why shouldn't there be a containment strategy in place? I'm sure their users can bear the friction of signing up for another account like you and I had to do!
