This behavior is why the fediverse alienate users and makes it hostile for new people to join.
They didn't do anything, yet. Give them the chance but start with 2 strikes on their account already. They fuck up, THEN you defederate. Innocent until proven otherwise.
Edit: go on, downvote me. Show me your face. Show me how you're all against growth on Lemmy and niceness to each other.
Innocent until proven otherwise is a concept for criminal court.
We aren't putting someone in jail, we are looking at their past business practices and deciding not to do business with them based on their obvious habits.
Corporations like Meta have shown time and time again that they cannot be trusted to play nice with anyone else. Have we already forgotten about Cambridge Analytica or the plethora of other scandals they've been at the center of? The proof has been in plain view for a while now.
There are many years of proof already about facebook/meta acting very maliciously, actively breaking laws and being fined for it, is that not proof enough? How many more do you need before you can say they're not innocent at all?
