If an instance can defederate, then can't the federation either not allow a Meta instance to federate, or defederate them?

yeah, there's a whole pact going around with the goal of Gabbing any Meta-affiliated instances

What does ‘Gabbing’ mean in this context?

[–] salarua@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

a mass defederation from a specific instance like what happened when Gab tried to join the Fediverse

Thank you, I was aware of Gab from the news, but didn’t realize they tried to join the fediverse.

Everyone’s so dang helpful here, love the vibe.

Yep, back in 2019 Gab joined and almost everybody defderated them immediately. Here's the post from the Mastodon blog at the time. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/07/statement-on-gabs-fork-of-mastodon/
