I have written more negative shit on Meta than I care to recall. I am _painfully_ familiar with how bad Meta has, and continues to be. Here's an example: https://careylening.substack.com/p/welcome-to-the-splinternet
My problem with a 'ban-first' approach is that I worry that in order to be effective, any bans will require secondary banning of any instance who doesn't play along. Now, there may be a technical solution here that wouldn't splinter the Fediverse, as @matthieu_xyz has pointed out (https://calckey.social/notes/9gj7tlydaw0v89bu). I am 100% for that sort of thing, because that gives everyone agency, not just a minority of admins (minority in the sense that there are like 20k servers on Masto) majority power over teh federated network.
This is why the house party examples being floated don't fly, btw.
