So while one key piece of the #Fediverse is that entire instances can be blocked as a form of moderation, and keeping things safe for people. I think it should be clearly stated to newcomers to any instance if entire platforms such as #Meta / #Tumblr / #Medium / #WordPress.com / #Bluesky (through a bridge) are being blocked.
If someone wants to have a federated identity and follow family/friends on Meta then they are SOL if an instance completely blocks the entire platform. #fediblock
@tim When you sign up for #Bluesky, #Twitter or #Meta you agree to give them a license to content you post. It is a very broad perpetual license giving them lots of rights to your content, including the right to sublicense. When you sign up for Mastodon, most instances do not take a license, the content rights you give them are defined in the privacy policy, and they do not include reposting your content to corporate sites that assume licenses to the content.
answer: not very hard as long as admins keep leaving their federated timelines open
you'd want to base this on regular periodic timeline sampling so that instances that defederate will automatically drop off the blocklist after a week or whatever
#Meta is soon expanding into the #Fediverse with #instagram. For the sake of anything that is important in our network, the good community and well-meaning people:

@Jigsaw_You@geopolitics In the end, good will doesn't suffice: #Meta must fulfill #EULaw to operate in The EU, that simple. Of Course Meta could lobby the US Congress to pass legislation consistent with that implemented in the EU, this issue is Meta's problem, not ours to resolve nor accommodate. Surprising the lack of functionality of, my otherwise beloved, #EUCommission on this issue: trusting international agreements to discretionary authority is a no-no.
This fine issued by the #EU to #Meta, for it's abuse of it's users data privacy (#GDPR) is a good start, but #bigTech companies should be fined on a monthly basis, if you ask me ..
"The fine is the largest of its kind, and accompanies an order to stop data transfers to the US. The case stems back to 2013 and revelations about US #MassSurveillance."
"Meta has been hit with a record €1.2 billion fine for not complying with the EU’s privacy rulebook.
The Irish Data Protection Commission announced on Monday that Meta violated the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when it shuttled troves of personal data of European Facebook users to the United States without sufficiently protecting them from Washington's data surveillance practices"

Step 1: Post nudes on #mastodon
Step 2: Get your mastodon instance blocked by #Meta because of nudity
Step 3: Spread the message on meta/barcelona that they’re blocking nudes and you should really migrate to mastodon to see all the nudes
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit
Meta Ireland fined €1.2 billion for violating GDPR by transferring EU/EEA users’ data to the US without adequate protection. DPC orders Meta Ireland to suspend future transfers and cease unlawful processing within 6 months. Decision follows EDPB dispute resolution. #GDPR#Meta#DPC
