“let’s embrace all the users who are already there and try to convert them to our app/server”
i don’t think the people who came here, hoping to avoid meta and other big corps, are the type of people who would switch to meta’s instance. Rather only current meta users.
Besides de-federating from meta (server side) is not the way to go about this, as you’d be encouraging people to use meta’s apps, since… they would have no other choice. Everyone keeps bringing up EEE, well you’d be contributing a massive amount to it by doing that. Mastodon has client side defederation anyways, so the user has the ability to defederate for themselves.
