And defederating will not help because you will have to defenderate also with instances that want to federate with Facebook or else the messages will eventually come through. At least that how I
understand federation works. So eventually you would have to fediverses.
I would love to have a unifiying protocol but I really don't think it will work. It will split people eventually someone will fork the protocol so that it can not federate with Facebook, splitting it.

Yeah, that would zuck, if it works like this and we cannot de-federate effectively. This problem needs to be solved off course, but that is something that can be integrated later. But the important part is, let the users federate if they want, let them decide. But that off course should only happen if the system is working correctly (such as entirely federating, like you suggested).

I am not sure it can be fixed because that is just how federation works else the activity pub would have to rewriten from scratch.
I don't see the fork being compatible because that is the reason to fork it in the first place, people not agreeing with what should be federated or not.
