       @thomholwerda That's the local feed right? They should know that they will get burned if they try to federate it

       @selea Yeah but that's going to leak out though, won't it? Also, once the big instances are federated with Facebook and tons of connections have built up... Are the big instances really going to defederate once the ads leak out?

       @thomholwerda@social.tchncs.de @selea@social.linux.pizza Is there any chance they won't leak out like, in the first hour if not minute?

       @CynAq @thomholwerda No idea if that will leak out, I have not enough information

       So now that we know Facebook will be pushing ads into our ActivityPub feeds if we federate with them, the answer to "should we preemptively defederate?" seems a lot more obvious.I hope those on the side of "wait and see" will be open to changing their opinion in light of new facts.

       @thomholwerda Based on this post: https://beach.city/@vantablack/110594120842443355My understanding is that Meta will be pushing ads to users of its’ app/instance, but other instances that federate with Meta will have the option of whether to allow its’ ads or not (for more compensation to the admin).While I’m not opposed to Meta being on the Fediverse in principle (I’d love to be able to interact with my IRL friends and family from here), I personally draw the line at pushing ads to users of instances that federate with them, more specifically, to anyone who isn’t using Meta’s own instance or software.Any instance that allows Meta’s ads to federate should be defederated.
