I might not be understanding something about the fediverse, but isn’t this like if you couldn’t send or receive email from a friend because you use gmail Google decided to block @icloud domains?

Like, you’re not forced to follow or interact with it, and are free to block it if you can think of a reason to, I just don’t see why such an open platform used to limit users in this way

    Well, this was extremely disappointing. Only one person had a helpful reply, pointing to this link explaining the basics, a couple others vaguely gestured about their distaste of Meta, and everyone else demonstrated an even lesser understanding of the fediverse than I had started with. One particular flat-earther just called me a slag and posted a screenshot of themselves downvoting all my comments.

      “Everyone disagrees with me, that is insane because I am clearly smarter than them all. Why won’t all you idiot people agree with me?!”

      All of your comments in one reductive nutshell.

      You seem to have low self-awareness. Do you happen to be autistic?

      Or people checked your comment history and saw that your first ever comment was to vote against defederation, and you haven’t done anything besides drop pseud-posts whenever people expressed their desire not to federate with Threads. That does not look like good faith engagement to me.
