To be fair, it is understandable decision, as it would copy and connect data / posts to other servers automatically. On the other hand most people don’t care or understand what this is about and probably never enable it. Still better than nothing in my opinion. Hopefully all new users get a notification and popup to ask if they want to join the Fediverse too. And new user account registration will probably show an option too at registration time.

Seems unlikely. This is Meta’s malicious compliance with MDA or whatever from the EU.

  At what exactly do you refer to? Meta does not need to federate with the Fediverse. I am not aware of any law that would force Meta doing this.

    The DMA has clauses that force big companies that are considered “gatekeepers” to allow interoperability with other services.

    Good to know! I guess that’s why Apple is forced to communicate with Android.

  How is it “malicious”?

    We don’t know yet the full answer to that but I’d say being “opt in” without any sort of prompt ( especially when every other fucking Meta feature is “opt out” ), or having unidirectional federation would qualify as malicious.
