#4They really don't know how to do it:
By default a curated view which probably group-minimizes the posts, unless the user decides to go uncurated.
One could think of categories of curation, levels, etc (AI could understand sarcasm).
No need to shadow ban or ban full servers, just group curated-out content and always let the user decides, unless the account was adult gated with adult temporal wallet code (there will be a black market ofc, but if control is done properly, that should stay anecdotal).

#5The complaint by the author that Meta should moderate individual users rather than simply block "loosely moderated" servers feels like an unreasonable expectation.

#6>Meta seems to be betting on the fact that people have played nicely in the past, but I for one am not going to let them have their way. I am going to ensure the data they publish remains free and open to all.
is there a name for this behavior? 'in-your-face-ism?' Choosing who to federate with is an explicit feature of federation. It's precisely what a lot of servers wanted to do with traffic from Threads, and they should have the ability to.
There's an increasing number of people in social communities who seemingly want to have a right to not just have their own space, but insert themselves into spaces of people who have kicked them out, or don't want anything to do with them.

Exactly.
The principle of free association isn't just anyone should be able to associate with those that feel the same way, it's also that people shouldn't have to with those they don't.

Exactly; one of the most valuable things federation brings to the table is the ability to choose which servers to federate with and which not to. I don't want Meta moderating individual users on sites they don't own.
