I get meta evil, but aren’t we just blocking out any users from accessing the wider fediverse?

    This is what I mean.

    Meta is going to get public data one way or another. It’s not hard to scrape the fediverse normally.

    Like all defederating them does is make the fediverse more closed off, not less

    You can’t even really block scrapers without actually locking down a site. You can just ask nice bots (like googles crawler) to not index you.
