And you haven't mentioned the moderation costs to Meta. They'd have to decide who to federate with, which instances to block, which accounts to block.
- soatok 3y ago> And you haven't mentioned the moderation costs to Meta. What about my comment obligates me, in any way, to mention that? It seems like an odd thing to demand. What's going to happen is: the far-right pockets are ad-unfriendly (ad-adverse?), so they're out. But the far-left instances are anti-corporate, so they'll block Meta. What remains are heavily skewed towards the statist democrat types who are generally civil and well-mannered. I wouldn't expect the moderation burden to be too heavy from that crowd. The only significant moderation cost will be if Zucc abandons all sense and federates with instances that allow right-wing extremists. That would be an expensive blunder. (Still stupidly rate-limited on my main account, so have to reply from this one. Dang it.)
