    I don’t think it’s accurate and actually a bit disingenuous to lump WordPress and Flipboard together with Facebook/Threads, because these entities behave drastically differently, Flipboard and Wordpress are sharing their content with others on the Fediverse (plus wordpress is hosted software, people can run their own versions of it independently) without trying to compromise and manipulate users, Facebook is trying to recruit Fediverse users onto their platforms, that’s why they’re doing one-way Federation and banning Keywords related to Fediverse related platforms. To say “iT’S All cOrPOrATe” is ignoring these key facts, which is why I say it seems disingenuous.

    Bad instances are going to be a struggle always, that’s just the nature of a federated network, there will always be bad actors, compromised nodes, and malicious users that we have to deal with, that’s never going to end no matter what happens. Even if it becomes infrequent it’ll still always happen.
