I totally agree. Using a protocol designed to distribute content with the expectation that you remain in control of it is asinine. If you really want to control it, either allow list federate with only instances you know are in the same circle (IE make your own smaller fediverse), or move to a private forum. I argued with the Fediverse about this several months ago, and raised all of the same problems in the article with them. Only to be shouted at, doxed, abused, insulted and attacked. I still think that what I experienced would be enough to drive some people to self harm. The level of toxic interactions on the fedivese was the worst I have ever experienced on the internet. As such I find the fact that there is a freakout over what has been predicted multiple times hilarious. I welcome Meta joining. The sooner people on the fedivese grow up and realize the reality of what is coming the better. I really like ActivityPub. I really like the fedivese idea. However when you visit you rapidly discover its full of the really annoying people from twitter, and people with "ex tumblr poster" in their bios. Forget where this came from but it sums it up perfectly. Fediverse: We are open for federation and you to join! Meta: Ok here is what we are doing with instagram. Fediverse: Not that kind of open!
