If corporations are allowed on fedi, I feel like we'll eventually lose everything we enjoy about fedi.

We'd have data gathering without our consent that they'd sell and profit off of, we'd have social media integration that would allow Musk and Zuck to gather data here as well, law enforcement would have a much more invested interest in using that data since fedi is hard to secure.

@eris Isn't the point of federation that we can just block their instances? So they'll be existing in their own bubble, advertising to no one but each other.

@Jazzy_Butts They don't need to federate to us to scrape our data as people already have unblockable scrapers. We have to basically drive down the profit incentive to come here at all to prevent it with aggressive anti-corporate sentiments and harassment of anyone who tries
@eris @Jazzy_Butts time to deploy anti-gentrification tactics. what is the online equivalent of firing a gun into the air every week?
@tarperfume @Jazzy_Butts @changeling @eris I was too busy telling everyone i was going to kill them last night
@rats @Jazzy_Butts @changeling @eris trying to post shota when you're feeling murderous is incongruent yes, get your hands away from the stash for a while
@eris @Jazzy_Butts toxicity, or just, extreme-city - say, a thread talking about necrophilia - really does have its perks. just as long as its a general cloud and not people getting drive-by harassed

@tarperfume @eris @Jazzy_Butts honestly yeah sex weirdos are a great way to keep the corpos out, there’s a reason they keep getting banned everywhere else

@eris But couldn't they scrape regardless whether they post on fedi themselves or not? I don't want them here either but nothing can be done and I thought fedi was set up with this sort of thing in mind, decentralized so bad actors can only control their corner but not the whole fediverse

@Jazzy_Butts that's what I mean, if we harass off corpos and create a culture where people largely feel they should stick to Twitter for capitalist stuff then less corpos would migrate here or want our data
