You're viewing a single thread.
I don't understand the point of doing so preemptively. Just make a standard set of rules. Defederate when someone breaks the rules. Keep it simple. No point of sending the message of "there is no value in integrating with the fediverse if you're a large corporation". Much better to send a message of "if you continue to be a bad actor, you'll lose out on the benefits of the fediverse"
The point would in part be to prevent them from pulling an Embrace, Extend, Extinguish like Google did with XMPP.
What is the policy then? Can no large company integrate any product with the fediverse for fear of EEE? Is there a certain size company where it is acceptable, or is there a list of companies that are on a blacklist?
We could make a policy against federating with social media companies that have a history of either trying to take over their competitors, or when that doesn't work, trying to get laws passed to outlaw them.
