I wouldn't mind, comics are absolutely a form of book. But I'm unsure how successful such communities would be since community subscriptions cannot be migrated on lemmy right now.
They are deeply threatened by it and are desperate to capitalize off xitters failing. Mark is probably enraged that he can’t just buy up the company and snuff it out.
I think it’s inevitable that if they aren’t going to use a blocklist (which they are probably too stupid to consider doing) they will likely end up in legal hot water for having the site become a war zone of alt-fedi instances harassing celebrities and random people off threads. I do not see how them federating will go well, at all.
They setting themselves up for a major GDPR suit, as well other lawsuits for violating privacy policies of other services that never opted in.
I wonder if there’s a way to fuck with the info that is sent to Facebook in some way from instances, kind of like an obfuscation method. So instead of us defederating, we force them to due to spamming their fetched content with nonsense.
Unfortunately, gotosocial is in alpha right now and does not currently support relays or following hashtags. It's rapidly improving but knowing these work is a great step.
Oh I know about hashtag following and everything, but the fact it's hard to get stuff relayed in on a single user instance (specifically gotosocial right now) was what was stopping me from using it more since it feels like I'm on my own little island. But it works! It works super well!

It should be noted, it is likely coming to lemmy specifically soon.
