How feasible would it be for a small email provider like ProtonMail to block users from sending or receiving email from Gmail?
I think if Meta-twitter encouraged a lot more users into other servers because they could follow who they wanted on Meta-twitter, it would be an issue if you defederated them.
Since to federate you only need to use the ActivityPub protocol, there isn’t a reason new posts would need to be triggered by user action. The platform they are federating with would just see all posts as new posts on the protocol, regardless of whether it’s an ad or a genuine post. I guarantee they are trying to think up a way to do it, and if it’s feasible it will be done.
Yeah I meant more a “Sponsored” tag, so it’s obviously an ad. Then keep changing it up to avoid ad blockers like they do on facebook…
The second they did that the servers that hadden’t defederated from them would probably at the very least rethink their decision not to do so
Also how doable would that be? Considering they don’t control UI of the platform they would be trying to broadcast the ads to
